Welcome Swirl Dot to the family! The paisley pattern is a gift card. I wrote the date on the back of the gift card and used an ink pad to write Swirl Dot's name.
For this *doll, I used:
-1/4 fleece fabric I picked up last year on sale (the fabric print is called 'Swirl Dot')
-stuffing/polyfill (actually I used eco friendly bamboo batting)
-2 buttons for eyes
-ribbon for the arms
-scrap fabric for the legs
-scrap piece of fabric for the hair yo-yo. Adding a yo-yo to the Official Christmas Doll is a longstanding tradition! ;)
-3-4" piece of scrap lace for the pants' trim
-scissors
-sewing machine
-thread
-yarn for the hair
-Fray Check™ for the ribbon ends (optional but recommended)
Time to make: from start to finish about 2 hours.
*Note: I'm going to work on those eyes a little more (replace the buttons with some less menacing or use felt eyes) and add some eyelashes-which I forgot to do before I sewed the body closed. The legs didn't come out as well as I had hoped but again Cap'n Mad Ellen's default excuse: "It adds character". I'm probably going to end up adding some seam binding to the legs.
Cost: ΓΈ
