Hoffman Challenge Doll

Here is Fawna!

I finally finished my Hoffman Challenge. I have been working on her for a couple of weeks. Part of the challenge this year was using Sulky thread if you chose. I used it throughout the piece. She has a Metallic Sulky thread vest and butterfly. It was used to scrunch sew the fabric for the skirt and sleeves which is the actual challenge fabric. It is used on the organza flowers and there are strands in her hair. Since it was metallic I did bobbin work so there was less breakage.

this is the scruching of the fabric. I worked from the wrong side so all the metallic thread would be on the outside of the fabric. It is really fun looking!
