Our first doll

I would say that neither my daughter nor I are particularly drawn to dolls, but we made the first doll a couple of years ago, when she was maybe 8 years old. I had this idea that it would be fun to make something simple that she could embellish in any way she chose. I think I just drew out a pattern out of my head and we used part of an old sheet for the fabric. We forgot to sew buttons on or do stitching for the face before it was all sewn and stuffed, so she drew a face  directly on the fabric. Unfortunately, she wasn't happy with the result so we covered it up with a piece of felt. Every now and then I ask her if she feels like drawing a new face on the doll, but she seems happy with it the way it is. I think it has a certain charm! Note the bandaid drawn on the knee...
