Eleanor Peace Bailey Doll Revision







I had made this doll for a friend in 1989 using Eleanor Peace Bailey's pattern of a Victorian Lady. A while back, my friend asked me if I could spruce her up....hair was messy, clothes were faded, etc.










I decided to use her head (I fixed her hair and re-did her makeup) and her legs since those were the most time consuming parts of the doll.










New fabric and a while later,......wala! She was done...I took a picture also of before I re-attached her head...thought you would get a kick out of that.










Yesterday, my husband and I trecked to Sonoma to meet her for lunch and give her the doll. She had not seen it in two years....and we had not seen her in two years. Needless to say, she LOVED the doll.
