I’m probably one of the last people to jump on the Black Apple Doll wagon, but here are a couple I made for the girls for Christmas. They were really fun to make, the pattern and directions were really easy to follow (can’t go wrong with pictures).
I hand painted the faces, which I’m relatively happy with for now. I did get a good tip from Deanna of Just Deanna about adding a seam allowance to the leg and arm pattern pieces. I added about a 1/4 inch which turned out great.
I’ve got more plans for these dolls in the future – some cute clothes and shoes perhaps? And then I got to thinking about making the dolls their very own sleeping bags or tote bags to use, I can hardly wait! They’re taking a nap in my closet until Christmas, shhh! don’t wake them up!
CUTE!!! I may have to try those. Oh boy. . . the list gets longer 😉
Did you use regular felt for the hair?
Oh my gosh, those are too cute! I bet your girls will love them!
very lovely
cute dolls Anna! And I won’t tell Santa on you if you don’t tell on me…..
Such cute dolls! Now I have to figure out which girls I’ll make them for…
These are so cute. I love them. 2 little girls are going to be very happy come christmas morning.
Oh, Anna! I in love with those dolls! I need to make one for my little girl(she does not like real looking dolls they freak her out).
Would you tell me where you found the pattern?
I love these…I’m working on a boy doll and I’ve been stuck when it comes to his hair and face…..thanks for the inspiration!
Great inspiration. The faces came out wonderful.
