Wee Wonderfuls Doll

Here is a sick little Maya and the Doll I made for her from Wee wonderfuls pattern. We opened stockings and presents on the 27th as I was working Christmas and Boxing day. Problem with this was Maya was sick. She had been up for the good majority of the night- along with us- coughing and crying with a fever. She refused to take medication and she was miserable. Sooo we just went along with the presents anyway- mostly sleeping though the experience.

The doll was not too difficult- mostly finding time to do it. The most difficult part was sewing the legs on to the body and ripping out the stitches after I realized I had done it wrong. I did it four times!!!!! At that point the fabric was falling apart and I had to do some creative cutting. I will be making another doll so she can be a twin- Maya's idea, and 'the stuff' like sleeping bags, sweaters, and backpacks.
Actually the doll is more for me as Maya seems more excited by the Dora doll that somebody bought her- not realizing the only exposure to Dora she has had has been at a store.

The sweater and pants she is wearing are from H & M, which BTW is a great place to buy cheap made by children for children clothes. She had to put them over her PJs.
