lulu AND lola

I began this project for my friend Rachel who just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Of course, when my daughter saw the picture of it she needed one 2. So, I made 2 of them at the same time. It was an interesting process. I always find the faces take the longest as I want to make them look as nice as possible. They both turned out to look very sweet. The purple dolly's facial features have been stitched on with my machine so it is as safe as possible for bubs.

The pattern and inspiration is from the book; More Softies (Penguin Books) - this is the Maisy doll.
