It was there, in about 6th grade, that I started stealing some of my sisters clothing and wearing them secretly in my room. I would then hide those clothes in my room. My mom always found them after a few weeks, which is why the rumour of the “house ghost” was born. But no one suspected me to steal them because I wanted to wear them, which […]

I found out at a very early age that I was supposed to be born as a girl. From the first time I put on my mother’s pantyhose, I knew there would be no stopping my desire to dress as a girl. I grew up with two older sister’s which made it easy for me to have access to clothes, shoes & makeup. I would wait until everyone went to bed then I would sneak down to our basement where I kept my sister’s things & I would get dressed up & sneak outside & walk around the town. I […]

NOTE: you will want the eyes on the opposite side of the head from where the rows start. This way the color changes are not on the front of the doll. Begin stuffing head to medium firmness. R12 – *sc, dec* x6 (12 sts) R13 – *sc 2, dec* x3 (9 sts) Do not tie off. Continue to Body.

Sew base to the bottom of the body, stuffing body as you go. Do not overfill the body though because you want the bottom to be flat. Pull the tail from the body base circle up through the middle of the doll to help flatten out the bottom.

TIE OFF leaving a tail for sewing (an alternative way to do this is to do a sc chainless foundation stitch, this is my prefered method because you can add or subtract length easier if needed) Sew this long piece around the cap in a swirl, starting in the back and spiraling up to the top. Purple Streak Using a rather long piece of light purple yarn, start at the top of the hair and weave in and out of the spiral until you reach the bottom, then weave back up to the top. Add as many streaks as you like.
