Okay, so being inspired is quite addictive! It's been a real Coraline "Little Me" weekend. I realized from my original pattern (already cut out), that I forgot to add her ears! So I was able to sew them in while sewing the entire doll by hand...

To age the doll, of course some tea dying was in order. I do like to get messy when I create. I used the tea bag "direct-to-surface" for optimum color, but rinsed a little of it out. I think I might want more color, but I'll wait and see...

Stuffing is fun and therapeutic! And, as you can see, the "creative juices" are flowing...

Until next time....
How awesome! I can't wait to see how your little Coraline turns out! I'm so excited.
