Carole’s Doll

Today I finished Carole’s special order “Ismay”. After popping Miss Ismay’s shoe laces in their dye baths, I hurried to take photos of her before dark. 🙂

The linen that I used for Ismay's second skin has a W cross stitched on it, which I placed on her left knee. Obviously this linen was meant to be part of this doll!!! — The linen that I used for Ismay’s second skin has a W cross stitched on it, which I placed on her left knee.

Carole loved the clothing that I did for my doll that was pictured in Early American Life earlier this summer. Fortunately I had just enough fabric left to recreate her wardrobe for Ismay.

Ismay wishes everyone a very happy Labor Day!

In the morning Ismay’s shoe laces will be dry and I’ll teach her how to lace and tie her shoes!
