Shepherdess Holding Lamb Work In Progress



 I wanted to make a shepherdess but I just couldn't find a lamb pattern that was three dimensional unless I purchased a needle felting kit/pattern. Needle felting takes way too long and I want to sew, not needle felt. I searched quite some time thinking I would easily find a pattern. But most of the patterns I saw were for primitive style sheep and I wanted a  more realistic looking lamb. So I created my own starting with a few sketches. I thought I would have to do the prototype several times....but to my amazement ...this was the first one! Not perfect...but I like it. I couldn't attach the doll's arms until I had the lamb finished.

I love the little shepherdess picture and that wee lamb you made is so cute. It must have felt good to have got the shape right first time.

Thank-you Rhissanna. Yes, it was great to get the right shape the first round.
