crafting in Ireland in all of my supposed free time.

presenting nina

This is Nina!

The B on her heart is for a special little girl who is going to get Nina as a gift. As soon as I make her some clothes!

I’d like to design my own dolls, so this is good practice. I think I should make one more for good measure. The design for her is pretty simple. She’s a great size too. I’ve posed her on the mac so you can see…

Shockingly, it was not until I started sewing that I noticed the eyes I copied from the pattern were lopsided. So I had to adjust them. I thought it was my error in tracing, but IN FACT the pattern is not symmetrical. I’m not sure if this is some wabi-sabi thing done on purpose, but it is clearly not symmetrical. Weird!

5. Well I’m not really *that* talented, this is a pattern I followed. I think I should make sure to mention the book in each post about her, lest someone think I actually designed her!

Continuing the Discussion

1. [...] the nina doll was a good pattern to learn from. but the doll i want to make is jointed like my sister’s old raggedy ann, and has a butt like my old cloth doll- so she can sit up on her own. and when she sits on the edge of a table, her legs dangle down. [...]
