New Prim Raggedy

Finished up another Raggedy doll today. My friend commissioned me to make one for a medical worker who has been really nice to her. Really caring, over and above. The woman is a mammogram technician so I tried to work some pink into the outfit, as requested by my friend. This material has pinkish stripes with blue hearts. It really took the aging process well - the dress looks old, old, old.

I also painted stripes on the legs and gave her painted shoes. Didn't do that on the last one. One nice touch is the red edged lace. My friend gave it to me years ago, it's from something of her grandmother's. I'm thinking it was a tablecloth because there are a lot of curves in the lace. It used to be white, LOL.

Oh - used a low thread count muslin and had no problem sewing after everything had been coffee stained. I did stain the body parts before stuffing this time too - after sewing, but before stuffing. I learned a lot last time and made changes in this one that make it much easier to work with.
