This is Evelyne’s doll. I just finished her this afternoon. I put the final few stitches in her blue homespun check dress, sewed on it’s antique glass buttons, and popped the dress into a basin of wash water. At the moment it is hanging out on my clothesline to dry.
It’s so hot today that skinny dipping sounds like a wonderful idea!

Mary,
Thank you! Evelyne has had her on lay away for a year, so she’s had a lot of time to anticipate this doll. I just hope that the doll is everything she wants her to be 🙂
