Halloween Dolls

It's taken a couple of weeks but I have finally finished my dolls for this years Halloween. I had already decided they would be my own mini dolls and I would make two. 

The Wicked Sisters

I had some black and grey cotton left in my stash and I also found the spider web net while I was routing around. I was going to use some black chiffon underneath the net but I felt organza was a bit better and would give a bit of shape to the underskirt. 

Esme Wicked Sister

I was originally just going to have the organza and net as the main skirt but they needed a bit more so I used what was left of the bodice fabric for an over skirt that was open at the front to show the under skirt / petticoat. Esme did start off with a peplum rather than a skirt but I sadly had my mini iron too hot and melted the taffeta lining. 

Tabitha Wicked Sister

With Tabitha I decided not to add a lining to her skirt and just doubled up the fabric and also meant I wouldn't accidently melt anymore fabric. I found a couple of bows and some fine ribbons for the bodice, waist and wrists. 

The hair was a difficult decision and Girlie was a great help with choosing them so we went for a burgundy red for Esme and a dark teal for Tabitha. 

Both dolls are available in my Etsy shop and now I'm beginning to think of some special dolls for christmas. 

Until next time
