Oooohh Nicola,
I look forward to seeing your take on Dolly’s summer outfit. She looks lovely in CB.
Where did you get your body material last time? (Not too personal a question honestly!)

Hi Kate, I got some awful ,funny coloured jersey for the first one i made,well my mum got it as couldnt find any,she got it from a fabric shop in READING, it looked ok in the end but was a pig to sew, ended up sewing it by hand, as broke so many needles and was just before christmas, so couldnt get any more and the second one I got some g.o.urgeous fabric by recommendation from louise Brigden, came super fast!! Lovely to work with, sewed like a dream, it was Jan horrox site, I’ll just pop off and find the site, I have just ordered fat quarters from Creative fabrics, as thats where I got the dress fabric last time for my second one, lovely quality and again excellant delivery!!

Back in a mo......

O the dolly is lovely isn’t she.

Hi Nicola,
Thanks so much for info. Sorely tempted to have a go at lovely Dolly. Web pages already in faves - will browse to decide which fabric to go for. But really wanted to get the Jan Horrox body!
Big hugs again mwaahh!

MMMm unlike Handy Hippo which took over a month to send my order, this is my order I ordered Saturday 3rd from Creative fabrics and received wednesday( even with a bankholiday in between!)!! Yum yum, couldnt decide so went for different fabrics, these are all fat quarter size. Ideal for Dollies dress and hat!

O lovely material, cant wait to see what you make for her! umm far better service with Creative Fabrics!

oooooooo er! you have bundles of crafting nicola! looking forward to seeingyour creations

Now I have my body(!) fabric, it’s getting time to start. How did you decide how big to make her, Nicola? The pattern sheets say enlarge to suit, but then specify skirt dimensions of 11 x 50 cm. I think the pattern size is about right as printed in the magazine????
Did you enlarge at all and just adjust the skirt length once dolly was made?
Think I’ll be a long time on this project but looking forward to it already.
