Rosie a waldorf inspired hand made doll

 hi and good morning.

popping in today with another hand made doll

i'm pleased to share Rosie.

Rosie is approximately 12" tall and has a completed kntted body, a fabric face, knitted outfit and a mohair knitted and woven wig.

i have had so much fun making this doll.

 Roisies outfit was made a while ago and i've been waiting to make a doll with a body big enough for the outfit to fit. lol.

i am a big fan of Mary Janes tearoom dolls and i have used some of her patterns on this project for the dolls body, dress and coat, Rosies hat is my own design.

Rosies fabric head is a combination of inspiration from dear little doll (pattern) and a waldorf natural doll (you tube). all fabrics, wool, threads and stuffing that have been used to make the doll are all natural.

i have to admit there are still a few things i struggle with but every doll i make they are improving.

here is a little photo shot of Rosies journey: 

i just need to add a few buttons to Rosies coat and then she will be ready for anything..

as always i need to give a shout out to those that inspire me on my projects:
