My first order!

Just before Christmas I received my first order from my neighbours who wanted to give their nieces a doll each for Christmas. 

Bethany has strawberry blonde hair and loves everything red. She also wears lots of Ra-Ra skirts. This was my first attempt at making a Ra-Ra skirt and it turned out to be easier than I thought. Just 3 equal lengths of fabric sewn together & then pleated.

Sophie is younger than Bethany and has blonde hair. She likes all things pretty, so I decided to put pretty florals and pinks on her doll. I also blanket stitched a pink felt heart to the top of the skirt.

I was really pleased with how they turned out & my neighbours were also thrilled to bits! Will keep you posted about what the girls thought!!
