Little Miss Miracle

I wove her dress on a small tapestry loom 

that I had not used before.  I was not happy 

with the selvedges / edges so I sewed the 

two seams of the skirt together into a circle. 

I then made the body of the doll but found 

that since I had sewed the skirt together I 

couldn’t fit the skirt over the doll’s body 

with her legs.  So – I put the body aside, 

cut the length of the legs down and sewed 

the legs together. I was then able to slip 

the woven skirt over the legs. 

However, since the dress was closed all 

around I had to sew the arms onto the 

back of the dress just like you would do 

with wings. 

I then needle felted her head/face and 

crocheted her hat and the cuffs on her 

sleeves.  That’s why I call her “Little Miss 

Miracle”.  S0 – If something goes wrong 

just change it into something you might 

like even better.
