Work in Progress

A pile of fabric.  Mostly old clothes.....just waiting to become recycled dolls!

For recycled dolls that are already available, check out my Etsy Shop.

Progress on Recycled Love Bird Doll

Remember when I started this Beginning of an Idea for my little Love Bird Recycled Doll? I have made some progress in it. I picked out some old clothes (from my huge stash of old clothes.) And cut out the pieces.

Now, I just need to put the face on this guy and put him together. I am not positive that I have properly planned this out, but I am going to press on and find out, and if not I will learn!

Work in Progress

Here is a new doll that I am working right now. The green top part is from a beautiful cashmere sweater that was given to me. Unfortunately for the previous owner, it had become holey. Fortunately for me, I could cut around that portion.

Her legs are from jeans that were also very torn apart and outgrown. Her hair is pink fabric leftover from a shirt that my mom made me (she used to make all of my clothes growing up). Yes, that fabric is definitely vintage. (ugh, I am getting old)

As you can (barely) see from the photo, this doll also features hand embroidery I designed and did. Her face will also be hand embroidered.

This doll is larger than my previous dolls.

Hopefully she'll be ready in time for First Friday tomorrow evening. I hope to finish her up tonight.
