Lisa of theredthread recently asked me to test a new doll pattern & kit for her and as a result we have two new members of the household.
I tried to keep this little duo under wraps for possible inclusion in the Christmas stockings but Roxy Longsocks is no shrinking violet and she made herself (all two of her!) known around the place:
Although it looks here like Miss Wink has claimed both the Winter and the Spring Roxy, this is not the case. She has graciously agreed to surrender Winter Roxy to her big sister. But it was a perfect Sunday afternoon to play with both new friends in the garden.
As usual, Lisa's pattern and kit is a delight to make. This one had comprehensive and beautifully laid out instructions plus some excellent tips on stuffing (I finally managed to make a softie with no crinkles around the head - yay!) and a clever little tute on invisible ladder stitching.
Highly recommended as a super-duper handmade Chrissie gift. Go Roxy!
