Well I've already made my first softie of 2010. Her name is Molly Monkey( although I do wish to name her something else). Again, this fantastic pattern, and marvelous instructions were provided by a lady on the internet for free. Roughly, Molly is around 50ish cm. I love her wondering cheeky smile and her gaze.
The fabric for her beret is just felt, and I used bamboo wool to embroider some simple pattern on the base. The ribbon is just adhesive, and made the whole process so easy!
Molly's skirt is made of different vintage fabrics and I think it adds a touch of complexity to her. For those who have a keen eye, you'll be able to tell that she is wearing socks, her shoes (also in the great pattern) are still coming. The pattern comes with a tail. but i didn't add one in... I thought that she looked good just as she was!
I don't think you always have to spend your time out on NYE, as long as you are doing what you like I think its just as good.
Please Please Please make a Molly Monkey Doll for yourself this is the link. This lady is fantastic! she really has some good craft mojo.
