A doll from a kit!
This is a doll I finished yesterday and I am very happy with her! I purchased the kit from Gail Wilson Designs and followed her wonderfully precise patterns and instructions. Gail has spent many years perfecting her teaching and it shows. Everything went very smoothly. This particular doll is only 12" tall, so her garments have to take up as little bulk as possible. I wanted her to have a chemise, (not included) so I designed a split crotch combination for her, after consulting some images online. The darts in the torso make more bulk, so I was obliged to alter her dress pattern to make more room. I was moderately successful. Just don't look at the back! I have long wanted to make a sontag for a doll, so, after several hours of research online, I created one for her. The scale of the yarn is too bulky, but it is a start. The last photo shows her tiny boots and real stockings. I am going to modify this pattern and make another, bigger, doll.
