Let me just say thank you to Jodi (Korwynne) for letting me study her book so I could try to do this on my own. That's the key..on my own..without the book..so she's kinda funny looking and I couldn't find acorns in my yard so no hat..but I'm pretty pleased with what I could do not knowing how to do blanket stitch or dress the dolly..I still need to finish the blanket stitching to complete her and I'm not 100% satisfied with her hair and may use some mohair instead of the wool stuffing.

So, without further ado..my very first bendy doll :D Oh..I apologize for the poor picture quality..apparantly it's too tiny for my camera to focus right I guess..

Thanks for checking it out..I'm so pleased with myself :cuc:

YAY! You did it :)

Another hair option could be use embroidery floss, if you don't want to use wool.

I love the green and pink colors :D Cngratulations for jumping right in there, mama!

Woohoo! Congrats, she looks great!

YAY! Even blurry she looks like a bendy doll to me :) I'm pretty sure I'm seeing blanket stitching too. Looks great!

Looks great, especially for your first try!

oh my gosh she is sooooooooooooooo cute! I :heart: her!

Very nice :D

You can also make little felt hats if you don't have acorns. Just cut a triangle of felt and stitch up the back to make a cone, then glue it on.

WTG Meg! Nice stitches too.

She is way cute:) Nicely done mama!!

Thanks everyone! I actually found that one of the fake flower bunches I bought has a tiny section that I can use for a tiny little hat..kind of matches with the skirt so I like it :D I'm working on a bigger bendy today...I sort of want to try to knit a tunic for this one just to see how it works out :D

Thanks so much! This is fun :D

Great job, Meg!!! I love the colors too and very nice stitching. :cuc:

The fun thing about bendies is that once you get the hang of it, it is a breeze and the options are endless!! I have sooo many ideas in my head but never enough time to make them.
Fortunately, my 7yo makes her own ;).

She looks so cute!! I just started making some myself,(although I am unable to post pics). I didn't know how to blanket stitch either. For a hat I used a triangle of felt and gave her a scarf, no sewing!! My dd ripped it off right away and my son ripped off her hair, so i am using only flowers now. I use the big part for the skirt, a three leaf flower for a shirt, just glue it together, and then the little inside of the flower for a hat. They worked out really well and I don't care if my kids rip up these ones!!!

Good job Mama!!!
