Progress...

Well I finished the doll itself, quite quickly, but the outfit is taking me a while. I always struggle with the stuffing – this is an Audrey Hepburn doll, but her arms wouldn’t be out of place on the World’s Strongest Man Competition. I’m not too sure what I can do apart from rip her arms off, so I’ve left them for now. I have the pieces of the dress to cut out which I intend to do this weekend, but I’m putting it off slightly as the mouth fell to pieces when I tried to sew it onto the doll, so I’m worried what might happen to the dress. I’m also a bit confused about how the hair fits together (you knit two separate bits), then gets attached to the head. The pattern doesn’t give very good directions, in fact, it gives none whatsoever! If this is even a vague success then I’m going to try and make another one for some other poor unsuspecting family member…..
