Tilda Dolls

Yes, I have been bitten by the Tilda bug.  I just had to start with dolls.



They come in two sizes.  So simple to trace the pieces and sew them together on a flat piece of fabric.



How cute is this?....

The China Dolls

Sometime back in the 1980s these small china dolls were very popular.  My sister and I got our hands on a few.  We made one up for her with a beautifully embroidered pinafore.  She was blond.  Somehow I have a blond one and a dark one in my cupboard....

 Kind of fun to work on.  Easy too.  The legs and arms are just glued to the china parts.  The last step is putting on the heads.

I thought they looked pretty crazy without their heads.  More prosaic with them on...
