Thank you everyone for your comments and feedback! i really appreciate all of them!

I received my pattern and made my poppet about 3 weeks ago and finally posted her thread today! She is still nakey .. but I will make her some clothes soon!! So here she is - my FIRST POPPET!! :



Here is her thread : http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=263982.0

I made this poppet a few weeks ago and just got around to taking the pictures recently! I am really proud of her! She was my first stuffed ANYTHING and first poppet! I really struggled making her, but in total it took me about 8 hours. She is still without clothing, but don't worry she's not shy and does not have any lady parts! I made her hair from one of the tutes on the Long Awaited Poppet thread - I used two different yarns .. yes, she has a faux hawk!! Her eyelids are made out of felt. Her body is made with Alova Suede. I had the most difficulty sewing on the head and the seams in the back are NOT invisible .. unfortunately that was beyond me? lol So here she is:











Any comments and feedback would be appreciated

I am SERIOUSLY in for the next swap if you do one! It will be my first and definitely a great one to be in!!! I love Old School Nickolodeon - thats my childhood right there!!

Oooh I love her!! So pretty! Great job!

Azul is so cute!!

I made my poppet completely Saturday and Sunday. It took me forever as I am a beginner sewer - and I must admit I got a bit frustrated with my stitching a couple times (THE HEAD WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO SEW ON!) I can't seem to master the ladder stitch! All my seams are visible in the back Oh well I love my poppet so far! I am amazed that I actually did it! Now I just have eyelids, hair, and clothes and I am POSTING! yay~!

medli - the doll looks awesome!

So I went to Joanns today at open (I use to work there so it is so much easier to shop when you know where EVERYTHING is! lol) Granted, I still spent an hour and a half in there! BTW does everyone know that Alova Suede and Microsuede is 30% off until August 9th?!!! What a fantastic coincidence! So needless to say, I got EVERYTHING I needed for my poppet on sale (because its coupon commotion) - I got 1 yard of a light tan Alova, and .5 yards of a leopard Alova that I couldn't pass up. Lets see if I can make even ONE poppet and then I will go back for more!! I also bought about $50.00 worth of other stuff just because it was cute and on sale!

When I went to buy my freezer paper, the guy in front of me decided to PAY FOR IT! Hmm.. Im not one to pass up THAT lol .. so I got some FREE FREEZER PAPER! Woohoo - the poppet gods are smiling down at me.

So my pattern is printed (thank ghilie!) and my fabric is ready and I am all set to go .. I will post back with updates!

Thanks goldfishpolywog! I hope I can! But, if I have any questions I can just look through the 8 million page thread or ask one of you lovely people!!

Hi everyone! I am joining this wonderful poppet-along! I have read half of the thread already and cannot wait to start this project! I just received my pattern (thanks Ghilie) and I am HOPING to get all my supplies and start this weekend .. we shall see!

I am really excited and a bit nervous since I have NEVER attempted to make a doll before!

I have that alien fabric too - im obsessed with it! I've been trying to figure out what I can make with it!!
