Diana’s Patch - Sewing Patterns for Soft Sculpture Dolls, Vintage Dolls and Doll Supplies

This is my first doll dress I’ve completed. The dress was easy. The shoes were very hard. The socks were super simple.   The reroot post is here .

I am very excited to present to you my beautiful #3 redhead.
