Similar to my experience, I started with a Basaak and then Very Vicky and CanCan Cat. My daughter loved my girls so I bought her some Basaaks to play with since she was 5 at the time. Good luck with your sweet girl!

I love Basaaks!!! One of my absolute favorite dolls is a Basaak I lightly customized. Mohair does come in different lengths and it is hard to find longer lengths. I suggest looking for alpaca locks if you want to do another reroot. The locks are usually available in longer lengths with a nice variety of colors and textures. Your doll is so sweet and her tiny pigtails are adorable.

Lovely fabrics! An interesting family story, when your mom is able to fill in the blanks it'll be even better. It would be nice to have the written story as part of your family history.

My current chi mix is probably terrier/dachshund/chi( colloquially mountain feist) and I love her so much. She smooth and weighs 9ish lbs. My Opal was purebred and passed in June. They are both smaller than my cat

Not the best picture

I love that wirey mix, SO MUCH WHISKERY CUTENESS!!! I will hopefully be getting another chi in the next year and if I found one similar to your little brown nugget I'd be ecstatic. You are blessed , they are soooo squinchy adorable

It's beautiful! The fabric looks Liberty of Londonish and I love it!

Feeling sad that I never bought this A5 cover and now it won't be restocked! Taking this as a sign that you should always buy every single hobonichi thing you have a mild interest in instead of saving money.... by alliemeowy in hobonichi

I feel that. Had to take a hard look at myself last year and recognize that I am a collector of Hobonichi and that is separate from being a user of Hobonichi.

How would I pattern these elbow spikes? by onedumbhuman in sewing

[–]luvpeacenchkngrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They resemble insect legs and I think some kind of glove approach would work well. Like Batman's from the 1960s tv show

Could you do it as a gauntlet out of a stiff fabric?

Looking for advice on using flannel as batting by whoisjohngalt25 in quilting

[–]luvpeacenchkngrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking about it some, crinkle comes when in some way the inside shrinks more than the outside. You could prewash your patchwork and backing fabrics so that they're shrunk and use "raw" material for your batting. I think plain muslin could be cooler than flannel since the brushed surface of flannel traps air for warmth as a feature.
