My new routine has worked well to give me some time for my crafting too. I made this very sweet looking ballerina doll today. I am absolutely over joyed! :)
This is the first time I am making such a big doll. It's about 7.5 inches long. I took the pattern from here. I did not craft continuously. It must have taken me about 5 hours or so to complete it. I did run into some issues. Stuffing the hands and legs were particularly difficult. I was using a knitting needle kind of thing to push the stuffing and accidentally cut open some stitches!! :D I forgot to stitch the neck inside the head :P Yesss! If you turn the doll around, the neck is visible. That is why you don't get to touch it :D My hot glue gun was also acting up. But I am happy that I completed the doll. My stitches are more uniform. The eyes are stitched better. To top it off, I added some embellishments too. How cool is that! Very happy with the end result :)
