Notes from the Melody Maker

Making the doll body is the easy part. Dressing them might take time but I think Edna is going to stay basic.

I feel that the torso is a bit more narrow that I would like and substantially more than her original. For future reference I will make note of this. I attached the head using waxed thread and a curved needle. I have seen this application on another doll. I hate doing the skinny tapes but that is the most common application method I have seen. Thought I’d try another method here. I found it much easier.

Along side my other Dora doll, Edna seems tiny. I also noticed that the hands are very different. They look like replacement hands or Shackman hands. Who knows? I will make her a dress this weekend or so. Have some pretty cotton picked out!
