I had a flurry of sewing activity on Saturday and finished up the doll from Friday. Then I decided she wasn’t right and tried something else which turned into this second gal. Her giant hair is awesome (thanks Lyn for the hand dyed wool!) but her body was all wonky. I could tell at a half-finished point that neither of these was what I was going for but I was bound and determined to finish them up anyway instead of just add them to my growing pile of cast off rejects. Now that I have Maggie I’m more motivated to actually finish up the not-quite-right dolls.
ok, back to the drawing board….
The expressions are priceless- they more than make up for any body wonkiness (although I think the bodies are beautiful!)…
Wonky? Cute, cute, cute!
are you kidding?? these are the best!!! that hair is awesome! and the faces are so perfect. gosh i love that hair.
The green-eyed, red-head is cute! I love her hair style, too.
wow-did you do some trick photography?? becasue all I see is sheer rad-ness. what are you doing to me with that hair? amazing and genius.
they look smaller than your others? are they?? i lurv them! (lurv is more than love, BTW.)
such a fab’ work, as always!
they are sooooooo cute 🙂
oh i just got sad thinking of all the misfit toys. these girls are so very lovely, do they have to join the misfits? do they?
Her hair is amazing, Princess Leia watch out!!!!!
I would love to put my hands on the “growing pile of cast off rejects”… :o))
Cast-offs, you say?? Very cute ones, I say…
Oh, I think they’re ADORABLE!!!!!! I really like the one with the big bow in her hair!!!!!
Do you sell your cast off rejects? ;o) I love them!
oh. those bangs! 🙂
I love the faces on your dolls–they are so expressive!

I love them both, I don’t think they are cast off material.
Brilliant! That hair is just fabulous!
These are absolutely fantastic! I too adore what you’ve done with their hair and faces. If I tried my hardest, my “perfect” pieces would never turn out near as fabulous as your “misses.” I think they are divine!
Okay your near misses are my absolute perfection! I love and adore them they are wonderful!
Have a fabulous day wee wonderful!
Love them! I’m a sucker for “a bit wonky”. 😀
those are completely adorable!!!
yay swishy hair 🙂
Even if you think they are misfits, in my book they are both winners! So cute – well done!
oooh I like them, nice smaller size and kinda floppy arms? thought you were working on that. i’ve read the best size for a real child’s doll is the size of their forearm…which is probably not a bad idea. I really really like them, great work. if only my work was as good as your rejects!
Oh boy, I like the idea of the Not Quite Right Girls. Glad you finished them, they’re very sweet.
Very cute hair on the Red head. It’s similar to something I was trying to do without success = ). You continue to amaze me.
The hair and the faces are so darn cute!
Love the Princess Leia ‘do. Tres chic.
OMG! Those two are so cute I just want to eat them up.
I would LOVE to make one for my 2 year old granddaughter’s birthday soon- is there a similar pattern ANYWHERe????
HELP!
As usual, ADORABLE!!!
ack, princess leah hair, so fab!!!
You are crazy! They are so fantastic. Just what any little girl would want. You are sooooo talented!!!!
Butt i love them!Any child or adult would love to have such dolls!I would!
Okay, how does it feel to be incredibly talented and fun?
These girls are wonderous.
ack! the hair! she’s too precious
Love the buns – make yourself a pair of princes leia buns and do something even more fun with husband than sewing on Saturday afternoon (wink wink)
Just adorable.I love the redhead sooo cute:
What cuties.
The “wonky” rocks! (I have NO idea what you are talking about!!)
Didn’t notice any wonkiness. They are oh so lovable. Great fabrics, great facial expressions, love the hair… so cute!
Hi!
what can I say after reading all the comments about these dolls… just “idem” I love them, so sweet, so beautiful, so “hugable”.
manela
reject pile, are you kidding??? they are so cute, love the faces and hair. You are being too critical, and from the preceeding comments I know I am not alone in thinking they are great.
Heavens girl, you must be one scary perfectionist. I would be bursting with pride. But then I am the Queen of Wonk, after all.
They are totally gorgeous. I love the Princess Leah buns too.
Mia
my daughter saw them and said she wants to play at your house with the prettty girls.
i think they are wonderful!
Rejects????? No way!!!!!!
i’d love to get a look at your cast-off rejects, geez!! these are wonderfully wonderful.
Oh I love them! I can envision them starring in their own book “The Not-Quite-Right Dolls” and they would have wonderful adventures and learn in the end that we are all different in our own ways . . . okay tangent . . . but I love them.
delightful, hillary! as always…
They are wonderful, very adorable 🙂 Luv them
These are the cutest I love them!!!! Great Job – I wish I could sew!
Oh my went to FLickr and saw his goggles…LOVE THEM! Love if you’d share pics of your cast offs…
totally cute cuties – i love them to death!
They’re adorable! The one on the right looks a bit like my daughter – she even wears her hair like that sometimes.
hillary–ohmigosh, that doll with the bun-hair is the cutest!!!! what a great idea–just love her!!!
by the way, did you get a package from me?
xx, maggie
Your dolls are fabulous, so fabulous.
