Apartment Daisy - Meet Daisy!

Daisy is an older doll that I made

many years ago. It has been at least
15 years now that she has been boxed
up.  Time to show her.
She is a tall lady - 6 feet to be
exact. Not everybody is the same
height!
She is due for a make-over
but not just yet.
Saved for a future job.
Meet Daisy!

I was just learning back then

when I made my dolls. I made

them from the little doll kits

since they were cheaper. 

The internet was new and 

so I was buying these little

kits from Hobby Lobby.

None of them had any hair.

Their hair is molded on, so

a lot of my dolls got hair that

I glued on to the top of their heads.

Daisy is one of these dolls.

Sorry that I forgot to take pics of

the back of her head, but

her hair is done sweetly into

a ponytail.

Her outfit was rather simple

to make. It is made from 2 pieces,

a skirt and a top.

All I did for the skirt was

take a piece of black velour, the

length that I desired,

and glue a piece of trim to the

bottom edge of her skirt.

Then I gathered the top edge

with needle and black thread

and gathered it to her waist.

Draw it tightly and knot it off.

The top is the same piece as the

trim and it is just wrapped tightly

around the top of her and glued 

in the back. Be sure not to draw

too tightly because the ruffle effect

will go away. And you want some of

that effect.

The sleeves are just pieces of gathered

lace that was glued together and glued

to her shoulders.

I do have intentions later when taking it off of

her to place it on a manikin. I think it will

look good there.

The movers did a great job moving her furniture

in, but they left all of the re-arranging up to

her. Now she is so exhausted!

It took her a 2 full days making

everything fit!

She still has more room!

She is going to eat some bread and hope

to get some of her strength back.

Just a sneak peak into her dressing area. Do you 

like her new dress! Hopefully I can find a place 

for the new dress to hang. Still am moving things

around. Things might not stay as you see them here.

Thank you for visiting me.

Please come back!
