Well I have been trying to make a doll but I am having such a hard time with her arms. I have never had this problem before. Could be I am just out of touch. First set of arms I blew the fingers. Second set the fingers were too thin so just couldn’t get them to turn. Third set I drew the palms separately onto the pattern . Unfortunately I didn’t notice that I had copied it the wrong way round so that the little finger was pointing up. I only noticed it when I started stuffing it. I was so annoyed with myself. Hope the fourth time will be lucky. But so much of time wasted. I wanted to get on with it and finish it before Christmas but now it is looking highly unlikely.😒
Anyway to calm myself I did another ornament from one of the pine cones picked from the garden.
Oh Shashi, I've been there, done that. At one point, I ended up cutting the hand part off the whole arm pattern adding 1/4" seam allowance to reattach the hands to the arms with a ladder stitch after they were done. That made it easier to do the hands. Once I got back to doing them after that experience, that curse disappeared...lol
