Very nice job! You can't tell me you are a first time dollmaker...you certainly sew like you've been doing it a very long time! I love how you made her hair and her embroidered face.

Very nice! Thanks for joining in!

Skippy turned out great! I'm impressed that you embroidered her face. I had to paint on my dolls face. I can't seem to master embroidery... I need to keep trying.
