Voodoo

Hello all,  I decided to have a break from crochet and made something a little different. Here are a few pictures showing the progress of my voodoo dolls.
I began by drawing out a simple pattern on paper. I wanted the doll to have a primitive look.

Stitching the pieces together

The body sewn and turned to the right side

 

Now for the legs, oblong pieces the more simple the better

Heart pinned and ready to stitch

Random stitches

Two dolls completed with buttons for eyes

A couple of stitches added to the arms and legs for elbows and knees

Arms and legs sewn on in white with black stitches to give the voodoo look

Oh and here's my huge pincushion that holds all I need when I sew.

Its been a busy week

Ive had a painful week and the consequence of this is to be less mobile and have a supply of pain killers to hand. The boredom got the best of me so after getting my husband to search out all my material I turned my hand to sewing quite a few projects. 

The patterns I used are ones I made myself from scratch and have since made master copies in card to save me the hassle in the future.
