I have been wanting to make a pattern for a Marie Antoinette style doll for a while now, but didn't know how to go about it or where to start. I had looked online for a pdf or epattern but couldn't find one. As I'm from Australia, postage can be quite expensive, and being quite impatient, like to have it right now!
I drew up a pattern the other day, because I had this vision to make a 'swan princess' which would have the head of a swan and a human body. My girls were not impressed, so say the least. The body was too 'Rubenesque' for the head etc.
So I pulled off the swan head and made a 'normal' head., and thought what am I going to make with this?
It always amazes me how a doll takes on a life of it's own.
Finally finished..............
She is approximately 62cm in length, cotton body, underdress and bloomers are made from cotton lawn, overcoat/jacket is cotton/linen blend, face is drawn with fabric pens.
Please let me know what you think? Does she need more detail or a change of face?
If anyone is interested I'm thinking of putting her pattern together for purchase, it will probably be
about $10 and will be in pdf format.
