Abigail Esther is 22 inches tall. She has pretty black eyes in her hand-embroidered face and her wool felt hair is black with rich purple highlights. Her khaki skirt is removable - and made from a skirt I used to wear. Alan called it The Sack - repeatedly - and so it ended up in my fabric stash. It looks far better on Abigail Esther than it ever looked on me - and there's tons of fabric left for more doll skirts. :-)
Her dress is purple linen, made from a favorite buttery-soft shirt that I wore to pieces. I was able to incorporate the button-front into the front of Abigail's dress for a nice detail. You may remember seeing the same fabric in a certain Shiny Happy Bunny.
Abigail's knees are jointed so she sits nicely. She has brown corduroy shoes and I love her striped tights. Does anyone know where to find real tights like that for grown-ups?
so cute - just found your wonderful work on flickr :)
