Penny Wooden Doll (dresses w/tatting)


I was unsure about hand washing these
doll dresses.  I have had the Penny Wooden Doll
for several years.

I bought the dresses at a local doll show -- they are lovely with the tatting.   I gave one to my Siste-in-Law, too.  Her doll dress had blue tatting --

I went ahead and hand washed & air dry.
They look SO MUCH BETTER.

Woven Petal Flowers ~ A Turkish Tatting Technique

Attempted new technique:
   Created a wonky petal, small petal, and chubby petal during on-line zoom class.

I used Lizbeth size 20, Col. 621 (pink) + Col. 683 (lime).  Interesting to learn, practice needed!

Kit includes custom loom, needle, fiber, + four patterns/instructions.  

IMO - you need to have on hand:  scissors, tape measure/ruler, scotch tape.   I like to have (nearby) pin cushion, needle threader, stiletto, post-it note, & longer needle.
