Recycled Sisters



These two little ladies were made from an Indygo Junction pattern designed by Leslie McCabe.  I love using recycled materials and especially wool.  I remember wearing all four of the sweaters used to make them.  For their faces I needled punch felted the nose, whites of the eyes and ear parts my self to get the color and texture I wanted. 



The Blue Sister has a batik back and the Green Sister has Kaffe's Millefore for her back. The outfits were a first for me, as I had not actually sewn doll clothes before.  They are all around sweet and quite charming. 

Finished the 10th of October 2010- during sweater weather...
