I made my GD this doll for her birthday. A bit of nostalgia, since I had made "Carols" for my DD and nieces. And the Simplicity pattern only cost $2, so I guess it's considered vintage by now. LOL.

The original faces were hand embroidered, but I found and made a face I liked fit to the pattern. I'll make her more clothes later-an Elsa dress is in the planning stage, since I'm going to make one for my GD.

Wonderful job. If I remember correctly, I think one of our fellow cuties may have posted some. Does any one remember who posted them? I filed mine by the Cuties' name and not by the category. Kay

If you're talking face, this is Blossoms's face from OMA. I made one of her for my grandniece. I enlarged it until the eyes were the right size, increased the stitch density in the mouth, and after some hand stitches to make it just right, I like it.

A really beautiful doll and so much loving work has gone into her. Your GD will love her to bits.

Just love your doll! Her personality calls out for a lot of hugging. I'd say the pattern is a keeper. Thanks for sharing your creativity

Thank you. You wind yarn around paper, sew down the middle. After cutting the loops on the sides, you then sew on that thread line in different size circles on her head. No way is anyone going to pull her hair off!

Darling face. Don't forget spare shoes, unless those are permanently attached! She is quite huggable.

Thank you. The shoes are felt, I'm going to try some cutaway with some decoration one of these days.

It was pretty close to the original hand one, though I left off the pink cheeks.
