I've gotten a dress and a linen apron done for
the early black doll I have been working on.
I chose a reproduction 1800's red cotton with
a lovely wheat pattern. It was a bit bright so..
They have been aged for that "loved" look.
I have also sewn a different longer apron with
a matching head scarf out of a sheer cotton, that
has been heavily aged. So, I am undecided.
I am also thinking of making a few changes to
her face, as I am not fully satisfied with
that either! I will continue to work on
her until I am happy. I'm sure all doll makers
do the same thing. Are we always
tweaking and changing our minds? Are we
ever 100% happy with our creations?
What a wonderful dress, my favorite color happens to be red. Your clothing is sewn very well. Can't wait to see your doll.
ReplyDeleteYour not alone, I think many doll makers change things around while they "create" a doll. I too tweak and change until I am satisfied.

Beautiful outfit Sherri, love your choice of color.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see her all dressed up. And yes, we are always tweaking and changing our minds. :~)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the fabrics you choose for your dolls. The red wheat pattern is gorgeous...great look with the apron. "100% pleased" doesn't exist in my world...still trying to make the perfect doll!
ReplyDeleteThe dress and apron are so nice. I did love the little head rag you made. It should be just right. I always make changes to faces before either being satisfied or deciding I've done all I can or know how to do. I think your black doll will be so great, can't wait to see her finished.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies, I am so glad to hear that other dollmakers change their minds like I do. I guess I am still looking for the perfect doll too!
