I started with a turtle neck T-shirt from one pattern and the skirt from another pattern. I had a picture of the real cheer leaders in their outfits (from Clarinda, IA), and went on from there. If I have a picture to start with, I can come up with something. I start with a photo of what the person wants and "make it up" as I go! However, this method does seem to involve some "un-sewing" for me!
I have attached the picture of the cheer leaders and then the doll look a like.

Hi! Sorry i haven't been around. Hope everyone had great holidays, and maybe received or made doll clothes and/ or dolls. I was given a journey doll, taryn, by a dear friend. I am hoping to enclose her picture. And, i knitted a sweater. What a deal! I was trying to come up with a pattern and forgot to write any numbers down. But it went quickly, so will make another one and pay attention to what I'm doing!
