Howd'y Friends!
This week at Bee Sew Inspired, we are having a great time with all things Western!
Wagon Wheels, Corn Stalks, Horse Shoes, Printed Button-up Shirts, Overalls and all things horses!!!
This week I have been busy playing with an elegant and sweet fabric collection. This fabric is actually the inspiration behind the upcoming Horse Rag Doll pattern. The name of the fabric is - Beneath a Western Sky - and is designed by Gracie Larson for Riley Blake Designs. This collection is full of tons of intricate line work details, patterns and visual depth. Gracie always puts together color combinations that are fresh, comforting and so much fun. As well, the scale of all the prints are wonderful for doll making and quilters alike! YAY!
I have been wanting to design a horse/pony rag doll for quite some time and have played with the design and elements numerous times. I have added quite a few extra details into this doll pattern and I am so excited to share them with you today.
In the Horse Doll Pattern, I will teach you how to make an even yarn mane on the back of the doll. There are definitely a few tricks to share to build the mane and then a few more tips to assemble the completed doll with details on the front and back. The results are so worth it!
