In the spirit of the Halloween season, I spent the evening in the Sewing Cellar working on a Marie Antoinette Zombie doll.
They cut off her head, but now she's back, and she isn't looking for cake.
I'm pretty pleased with how she turned out. This was my first attempt at a cut & sew fabric design from both perspectives. I'd never designed one, and I'd never tried to sew one before either. She came together almost exactly the way I had envisioned, and all in less than the time it took my daughter to watch the latest in awful vampire dramas on television. :-) The hardest part was turning the sewn doll body. I always struggle with turning, and this was no exception.
Now that my ghoulish gal turned out so well, I may be on to making more cut and sew dolls. It was a lot less labor intensive than my usual process, and since I had the design printed on Kona Cotton, she's just as durable as my typical Raggedy Rebels.
Now that I spent this evening playing, tomorrow it's back to the serious work of sewing on Halloween and Teslacon costumes.
What are you working on these days?
