I made this little darling for the OTT 17 swap. She was created without a pattern, using Sugar 'n Cream cotton. She loves her flower pin, but will allow her new mommy to borrow it, as long as she returns it.
(using a picture that my partner took, because it's better)
Thanks for looking!
Okay, pattern by request! This isn't going to be perfect, because doxiemommy has Leelu, and she lives the entire way across the country from me! And of course, I didn't write anything down, so this is entirely by memory.
