My Swap Creation.

I have been wanting to develop a doll pattern of my own for a while, so what better time than for a Handmade Swap. Part of the swap was to take pictures of the process. It has been fun, however I have forgotten to take a few pics. It is hard to stop and grab the camera when you are on a creative roll. LOL

She is turning out smaller than I had wanted, and there are a few little imperfections. I may keep this prototype and make a new one for my swap partner. Do you think small imperfections give a handmade item more personality? (I am too much of a perfectionist I think to leave it.)

I'm in the swap too, and I am exercising the right of handmade to look handmade.
I realized that I sewed my doll's dress inside out, but you have to look really hard to see it, so I am going to run with it...

Hi Gail, thanks for visiting my first blog.
I try to have a merry heart and do what brings joy to me :)
Btw, your kid should be happy to have their mom's handmade doll, cute!

I think imperfections are great! Very unique and special. And most of the time, no one else notices.
