Froken skicklig handmade living sock dolly :P

I recently discovered the handmade living magazine and have become hooked! In this months issue , there was a tutorial on how to make one of froken skickilig's gorgeous dolls and I saw and opportunity to get started on Christmas presents! I substituted the materials in the pattern for stuff I already had in the house, her skin is flesh coloured pop socks, her eyes are the spare buttons from a shirt, she is stuffed with the contents of an old pillow and the thread is dental floss ( heavier duty than normal thread). Her hair is cut from the scraps of felt left over from last year's Christmas decorations. Not really a refashion( unless you count the pop socks) but is re purposing. I can't wait until next week's issue so I can make her body and start building a little wardrobe for her :P
