McKayla with her doll!

Meet McKayla!  This soon to be big sister has a one of a kind matryoshka made of pink and white gingham and polka dots.  I was not sure how the black accents would turn out- after all, it's a doll for a little girl- but I really like how it ended up.
I love this photo, with her little hand holding on to the side.  She is such a sweet girl.  
Big hug!

This is the first doll I made with an entirely cotton fabric body- her headscarf is made of gingham fabric instead of felt, stitched together instead of appliquéd.  The vintage fabric I used needed lining, interfacing, under stitching, top stitching....and that's before sewing a perfect circle on the bias! I have yet to make another like this, but plan to in the future- but not with this kind of fabric.

As always, thank you for visiting Mimi Mart!
