Meet Ines, another doll created from the Greta Pocket Doll Pattern! She is on her to explore the shops in Paris and eat bread (I live through my dolls ;D).
Once again, I printed the pattern at 130%. When I enlarge the pattern, I do have increase my seam allowance on the legs and arms to 1/2" - 5/8” - otherwise the appendages would be rather bulky!
I used the beret pattern from the Peacoat, Beret, and Boots Sewing Pattern for the Greta Pocket Doll. I enlarged the beret to 120% for printing. I did try it at 130% and it was slightly too large. I source my felt from 3 places - the local quilting shops, Benzie Designs on Etsy, and the Canadian Felt Shop. I cannot express enough how important it is to use quality felt… Craft felt, which is mostly acrylic fibres, will pill and lose shape quickly - use the good stuff!
Her outfit is complete with a scarf from a thrifted cashmere sweater. Seriously the BEST wool for upcycling into new creations.
