We were having snow not so long ago but now summer came in full swing! Wild flowers started blooming in a hurry after a long long winter. How lovely!
Meanwhile I finally finished making undergarments for my 15″ Bru. I have been treating my shoulder bursitis for the last few weeks so my sewing progress is very slow…
This original Bru body was missing a head and arms, so I made the head and set antique eyes, made a new pair of upper and lower arms, then put all parts together. Now it has become a new 15” Bru doll! I was lucky to have a stash of a small piece of old kidskin for this project. I used it to cover the metal part of the upper arms then antiqued leather so that arms won’t look too new against the body. I am very pleased with the result. All parts seem to be the right size with this torso, her body proportions are very well balanced. This rarely happens when I mix old and new parts together since I only have certain size molds to make body parts.
I feel like I just got a new doll and getting super excited to design a dress for this special bebe! ( this doll is reserved )
