Our beautiful weather has made it hard to find motivation to return to the sewing machine. When that happens, I usually find inspiration with bags or dolls. Although I have a stash of fabrics perfect for bags, my heart wasn't in it. I found new inspiration with two new dolls made from the old Nola Hart doll pattern that I have used for years. Iris, the first doll, is entirely based on the Nola Hart pattern, but received a new look at the end. Tea, the second doll, is my design based loosely on the Nola pattern. She is jointed and her wardrobe is made of non-traditional materials. Here are pictures and a few words describing the evolution of these dolls.
