Finished Flower-Girl Dolls

Image
I'd had an order recently through Facebook for three Rag-Dolls to be carried by flowergirls at a wedding next summer, 2014 (a very organised bride!) It was a very fun project to work on and I'm glad to say they made it to Scotland unharmed - I'm always a little apprehensive sending stuff I've spent hours working on off in the post. The dolls were to be similar but different so I selected one colour for each from the flower-y fabric, which is the fabric for the flower-girls' dresses. Each skirt is embroidered with the name of the flower-girl and the date of the wedding. Just wish I'd thought of this idea for my own wedding!
