New followers/ new doll

Good news, I have 2 new followers. Up to 12. Thanks for joining. j

I am starting a new doll. I have the body sewn, stuffed and the seams covered with paper clay. It is made from an old flour/feed sack. Ink spot on the face will be covered, side view and back. The pattern is my own.
Nice round head with chin. Stuffed very(as in softball hard) firm.

After sewing the arms and legs on another doll I made for Susan Fosnots class I discovered when I enlarged the pattern the arms and legs did not go with the head/body. To small. Took them off made new.

I think with a 2 inch extension on the top of the legs they will work for this doll. The size is better.
