Well, as I said, Alexa needed a companion, so I drew out a bunny in wool felt and cut, stuffed (just a wee bit), sewed him up and embroidered facial details. He is sewn together by buttonhole stitch on the outside. He has pinkish ears and even whiskers and is only about 5 1/2" tall. Now Alexa has someone to cuddle with and keep her company until she has dolly friends or a new home with a mommy of her own.
The pink rickrack is not part of the bunny, but is attaching him to Alexa for display, so they don't get separated. The blue aqua embroidery floss ribbon/bow IS part of the bunny (and sewn on.) Alexa is very pleased to have a cuddly bunny friend.
My next project is a 15-16" doll that I am already working on. This first one involves some pattern drafting and tweaking around of sizes and parts, and then some more pattern drafting for clothes. I haven't purchased patterns for these dolls, but am trying to following the guidelines for Waldorf dolls, but be as original as I can. That goes for the clothing, too. It will be simple, but well-made and easy to change for the little ones.
