Tomasita

All this morning, I have been working on my cloth doll. I searched my inventory of fabric and decided on what fabric to use for the body. The face and legs are made of felt. I cut out the pieces. For the body I chose this vintage skirt and cut the pieces for the body and arms.

And here she is all put together. I did not think of taking pictures of the process. Perhaps next time that I make another doll. This is my practice doll. I did a few of mistakes and had to fix them.

Daughter asked, what will I name the doll? I do not know. We looked at the calendar to see what Saint name was celebrated today. St. Thomas Aquinas. Well, lets call her "Tomasita"


Next I will be working on the Saints Dolls. Want to make stuffed dolls of the Saints. Using some of the ideas from Waltzing Matilda and Paper Dali. I want to make St. Therese, St. Francis of Assisi, and Mother Theresa.
