Nellie has joined the team. She is no longer available and I found her on eBay. She is in excellent condition and is missing her hair bow for the outfit she came in.
Nellie has lovely strawberry blond hair and blue eyes.
And she has freckles. I was smitten by those freckles.
Why Nellie?
Nellie is from the 1900's and I love the Edwardian period clothing. Nellie fits the bill to model some of the outfits I plan on making. I chose her over Rebecca (who has the same face mould) due to the freckles and over Samantha as she has the classic face mould (which Kit has).
Nellie will suit a wide range of clothes from the 1850's to the modern era. She has a little girl's face which I love.
What's Next?
I'm deciding if the first doll I bought will go to the doll hospital to have her head and body/limbs replaced. I do like her a lot even though she had marks on her.
Secondly a new doll will be purchased Nov. 2020 when they go on sale. I'm thinking of a doll with curly hair. She can wear a lot of different eras of clothing. Jennette is close to what I want for that era doll so I may forego another doll. That remains to be seen.
Kit arrived to join the team and she is a delight. With short hair, blue eyes and freckles, she was a perfect choice.
Why Kit?
I have wanted Kit for a long time and when she came on sale, I bought her. Though her time era is the 1930's, she fits in well from then until modern times. This means I can sew some outfits from 1930-1950. I also think she can be used in the 1920's because of her bob cut.
Modern Kit
I put Kit into a modern outfit and she looks as cute as can be.
Her hairstyle is perfect for modern times.
Look at your dolls. It is amazing how many different eras you can use for your dolls. Have fun trying out dressing your dolls in fun clothing from the 1700's to modern day.
Happy Doll Sewing.................................
