I have been wanting to make more of these felt dolls and had the perfect excuse. These went along with the American Girl Doll dresses from the last post.
The doll design and some of the accessories and clothing is from the book My Felt Doll by Shelley Downes. But I also added some of my own ideas.
I could not decide on a dress design that I liked so I made one for this doll out of fabric instead of felt.
I prefer to sew the dress, shoes and some accessories to the doll so the tiny pieces don't get lost.
This one below was the dress, headband and shoes for the fairy doll. I added a unicorn horn to the headband and changed the flower pattern slightly and for the shoes I embroidered the unicorn eyes.
I found the best yarn for her hair, I don't even know who it was by but it was on the clearance rack at A.C Moore, I will have to go back and see if I can find it in different colors. It does fray more so if you use this yarn you will have to secure the ends.
