Well, after sewing on the hooks in the back of the dress, she or he is done. Here are pictures of my completed Alabama Baby doll, made for the Maida Dolls Group challenge.
I used my own pattern for the doll's body.
The doll is about 18" long, the face painted simply with acrylics. The head is entirely hand-sculpted by me. I started by doing a very different sculpt, but when I saw my error, sawed the sides off, and filled in the eyes.
She is dressed in plain cotton ticking. I liked doing a fancier dress in the ticking, though, with ruffles. It was my first time putting stockinette on a head, too, and it wasn't too too hard, but I have to admit there are a few seams in back.
I noticed about stockinette is that is does take antiquing well. It's much more of a "surface."
Was fun doing this doll! Maybe more are in the future.
