Katie is going to be 4 years old and has every store bought toy ever made, so I thought I would make her something that can not be bought. My grandmother made a similar one for me when I was about her age and I used to play with it a lot, although I did not have every store bought toy made, it was during the war and there just wasn't a lot of store bought toys at that time.

Love the doll you made, did you have a pattern, or did you make it up yourself?

I just winged it. Years ago I made some from patterns so knew the general idea. I fashioned the heads from panty hose and soft sculptered the faces, the bodies and hands are muslin.
The little girl side is shorter than the grandma side.

Too cute! I remember when I was little I had one that was a wolf on one side and the other side had a two faced doll of Grandma and Little Red Riding Hood. I played with it all the time!! Your DGGD will love it I am sure!

So what did you stuff the pantyhose with to make the heads?
