Hi, it’s Amy here today from During Quiet Time. I followed Jennifer Jangles Sewing Pattern to create this set of Lucy and Millie Mermaid dolls for my daughters. They love them!
You can purchase the pattern in Jennifer’s shop. The pattern is made up of 20 steps, is printed in full color with diagrams and illustrations. It’s very straightforward and easy to follow. For my dolls, I used Jennifer’s fabric line called Extraordinary World. My girls particularly like the mermaid print used for the tails of the dolls.
One tip I’d like to share is on Step 6 and 7 baste with SpraynBond™ Basting along the edges of the doll heads once you have the hair in place as I did here rather than just pinning. It makes it so much easier when assembling the doll to do away with some of the pins.
When you applique the star to the tail, you can use HeatnBond® Lite and it works like a charm.
If you have a mermaid loving little girl to sew for, this is the pattern for you!
Jennifer has kindly offered to give to one of our lucky readers an assortment (four patterns; Otis and Rhubarb, Lottie Dot Bag, Okey Dokey Owl and Friends Quilt, and the Little Ditties) of her adorable patterns! Simply follow the easy to use Rafflecopter steps and enter to win! We’ll include an assortment of our favorite HeatnBond®, Fusible Fleece and more to help you create these and more!
