I came across this pattern to make the sweetest dolls you have ever seen from one of my favorite blogs, the Jones design company. She is listed as one of my favorite blogs, so take a peek. I loved how charming these little dolls were and I knew I had to make them for the sweet little girls in my life. I am still learning how to sew, but I am pretty proud how the dollies turned out. With a lot of help from my friends Lexi and Mishal we all had a task to do for each doll and then they taught me a bunch of stuff. I learned how to cut patterns, seam allowances, stuffing each doll, and watching my amazing creation come together. Here's a picture of us girls at around midnight. We all got together after our kiddos went to sleep so we could have some uninterrupted sewing time.
Here's what we came up with.
This is Lexi's dolly. Lexi used an old cardigan and its buttons with soft fabric for her dolly's sweater. Then she made an amazing little skirt with a ribbon tie closure. Lexi was the master of making doll clothes. 
This is the doll that Mishal made for a sweet little girl that she knows. This doll even has blonde highlights. Mishal was busy helping me learn how to sew my doll so She didn't get to make a skirt for hers. Its cute without a skirt though :) Mishal is so talented with a sewing machine. 
This is the doll I made for Lily. Since her hair is red it kind of looks like my niece Audrey, so I may give this one to her. She is wearing a sweater with a ruffle on the top (also something the girls taught me how to do) with a ribbon closure skirt. The skirt was a little to long so I think I'll make it a bubble skirt instead, much cuter.
These dolls were made with scraps from other projects and supplies that we all shared. So the doll cost us nothing to make. For my next dolls, I'll go our searching for the perfect outfits that remind me of the little girls I'm making them for. I can't wait to sew more of these sweet little dolls. My next purchase is a sewing machine, now that I know how to use it! I got the pattern for the doll here.
