All shapes and sizes

My little sewing group had a blast today shaping the faces of our trolls to be. We are working on Ute Vasina's Norman pattern which is a little troll dude that sits on a wagon. We all used different fabrics and were amazed at how differently they are turning out. Now - these look a bit strange because there's no coloring or hair yet - not even ears but it's fun to see how although we all used the same pattern none of them are remotely alike!

From left to right ... the little brown dude is made of the new version of doesuede, the next one is made from bucksuede bought at a Ben Franklin Crafts, the next doll is made of original doesuede in a taupe color, and the last one is made of a stretch fabric from JoAnn Fabrics. We all used different size and style eyes too - a couple are made with buttons (last two on right) and then other two are glass eyes of different styles - cat's eyes for one! We had fun with belly buttons too - we changed how we did them from the pattern directions and we also gave them little 'butt dimples'. It's going to be a couple of weeks before we can get together again to work on them but I'll report on their progress then.
