This is the completed Phebe Delight. Body fabric is heavy osnaburg from Osnaburg Germany. Her head and torso are first padded with cotton quilt batting, then stuffed with wool and a lot of wool roving. Entirely hand-sewn, hand-made. A picture of her bonnet can be seen scrolling further down. She has mitt hands, fingers defined via top-stitching.. little faux leather shoes.. She is from a pattern by Ike's Pip Emma pattern series that I did alter significantly to suit my favorite design ideas. The most significant alteration was to the head/torso. The original pattern was a one-piece head/torso design. I cut the head from the torso, also added neck darts -- making it into 2 separate pattern pieces.
Hi Mary! These are adorable! I love how you are inspired from days of old, so delightful! Are these for sale, or are you just displaying them here? I know they come from your soul, but are you able to part with them, ever? :-)
