After reading some reviews on Simplicity 2809 I decided to work my way up slowly by making another black apple doll. You can find a tutorial and the pattern here. For the dolls hair I used cotton instead of felt; I thought the little white flower would look really cute. Now I just have to put the stuffing in and hand sew the last seam. Overall this project was easy and quick; now I feel a bit better prepared to tackle S2809. One reviewer mentioned that she ignored most of the pattern instructions, which is fine with me. I have a hard time following instructions anyway, just ask K.! But several of the reviewers also mentioned patience - not my strong suit. On top of that I suffer from sewing distracteritis meaning I suddenly get the urge to browse patterns, visit the fabric store or start something else before I finish my current project. :)
Hopefully I'll be able to get this dolly on her way soon. I am sure she is looking forward to the cooler weather in Germany!
