Photo of the Week: Little Lumberjack


I wanted to share this lumberjack doll that my mom and I put together for a friend as a housewarming gift. He is made of different fabric, felt, and an old beanie hat I used to wear. It took a little over a week to finish him, starting with researching some ideas, sketching out our plan, and cutting out fabric using our templates. My mom did all the sewing and then we filled him up with some cotton batting. My favorite parts are the bright red plaid shirt and orange hat. The finishing touch was really the brown beard though, which brought it together and really made him look like a lumberjack. By the time we were done, we grew very attached to him and had a hard time parting with him. My friend is a big lumberjack fan though, and with her new room in her apartment shaping up to be a magical forest theme, he will fit in quite well. We are now working on making a Harry Potter and Ron Weasley doll for my bed, using a similar idea!
