Zoe: A Cloth Doll

February 12, 2009

Last night I couldn't resist the urge to  make a doll. Meet Zoe.

I first drew up the pattern for this doll nearly two years ago and I always liked her. What a fun project! I love picking fabrics and embellishments for dolls. The choices are nearly endless.

Zoe's dress is a lovely green vintage fabric with two little white vintage flower buttons.

Her hair is deep purple wool felt with a wool felt flower.  And her ballet shoes are wool felt, too, with little satin bows. I sewed her shoes to her feet so that they won't get lost during playtime.

Yeah!  Making this doll was so much fun for me. Zoe is up in my shop now if your are interested.  Have a great day.
