re-introducing, the Make-Along doll

handmade dolls and sewing patterns for sale at wee wonderfuls

I just posted to the shop and to instagram a new doll, and a new idea, that I’m very excited about. I’ve started a line of Make-Along dolls that will include the sewing patterns for all the clothing the dolls are wearing. So if you’re the crafty, DIY type but don’t want to tackle dollmaking to make that special toy for the little one in your life then this might be the fit for you. Along with the heirloom quality handmade doll you will receive the sewing patterns to make as many new outfits and variations as you’d like. And as new outfits are added to the Make-Along line the owners of these dolls will receive those as well. I hope this is an exciting idea for some DIY little doll-lovers out there. Me and my 8 yo self agree this is a super fun way to pass the time!

The first doll is for sale here and she comes with patterns for her jumper, dress, petticoat, socks and shoes.

Miss Birdie

This sweetie was made with Easter in mind but I couldn’t get her up in the shop in time. I’m guessing pink never goes out of fashion with her fan base though. I really love this girl’s sweet face. I become very drawn to other types of doll faces I see popping up in my feeds but I always come back to this little smile in the end.

Spring Fairy doll

Happy Thursday folks. I guess today is my Friday, no school tomorrow Oscar just informed me this morning. Not sure when I became clueless out of the loop mom but I’m ok with it. Keeps things fresh and exciting. I’m working on Spring fairy dolls today. I like the dress, the ears, the hair, now I just need to figure out the wings. I want them to be removable for play, otherwise I’d just sew them to the dress so they’d lay exactly how I want. I was trying to find a way to have dress up wings for a doll without having armbands and unearthed these oversized hook and eyes in my button box. I wonder if these will do the trick. I will have Phoebe field test when she gets home from school.

works in progress

My brain is dead from all the pta emails I had to write today. I can’t seem to put together 3 sentences but I have these photos to share. I had a fun week gathering supplies. I had to take advantage to the not-as-cold and hit all the thrift stores. Now I have wool and tweed and sparkly Indian things to cut into. I have everything washed and piled and planned. Now to just work up the energy to dive in. I started with this little melon-head above. She’s all ready for a fancy gown, but I don’t know if I am. But if the fabric is fancy the design can be plain. That sounds like a design rule. So I’ll dive into that soon.
