Bella

is finished—I finished her about 10 minutes ago; I spent two days working on the doll and her dress

A very pretty lady! :)

I just took a moment to admire her in the gallery. She’s dressed so elegantly, and let’s not forget those sparkling eyes. It was definitely worth the effort.

Oops, sent that too quickly.

I enlarged the picture a bit—if I’m seeing it right, the face is embroidered, isn’t it? With the embroidery machine? That’s of course great for that.

@ Bastelfan, I enlarged the picture; if I’m seeing it right, the face is embroidered, isn’t it? With the embroidery machine? Of course, that’s great for that

Yes, it was done with the embroidery machine; I digitized it the day before yesterday
I’m slowly getting the hang of this doll thing
Thank you all for the praise,

I like her too, dear Akela. She’s turned out to be a real head-turner with her blue eyes and glowing hair. Will Bella be getting any sisters?

Best regards, Ina

I think there will be more to come; I just need to order some more doll jersey first, because I don’t even have a tiny scrap left of it.

What’s the difference between “doll jersey” and regular jersey fabric?

Because of the way it’s made, Schnuckelina, it’s not as stretchy as regular jersey. Just type in *Aunt Google* for doll jersey and you’ll find quite a bit to look at and read.

so I dressed Bella in something different—I’m sure you all recognize the goblin—and now the doll looks completely different

Akela, your Pum... looks great.

I like her better this way—the colors go really well with her hair color.
