Here they are, finished and clothed.
It took me a while to get the dresses done. The little pinafore tops are simple, I love to make them. But I always struggle with how to make the dress underneath. I don't want to have to use velcro, and would prefer not to have a really bunched up elastic neck, but it has to somehow fit over their heads and all that hair! After several days I finally came up with a pattern I like.
These dolls are for two little red-headed sisters. The daughters of a friend from high school. They will be on their way to their new home later this week. I hope they they will be very loved!

yay! i was hoping you were going to post these today. they turned out so beautiful!! i don't really enjoy making doll clothes..too small and fiddly for my inexperienced garment making self, so i am especially impressed with your talents! ;)
Beautiful! Very well done.
(Lol, the word verification is "redfun"!)
amazing sister. they are going to be so loved.
Beutiful. They came out so well. I don't enjoy making the clothing either and actually bought the clothes after I made our dolls.
These are sooooo sweet! Wow, what an amazing job you did
Beautiful! I'm working up the courage to make a doll for my littlest one. I may start small and just try out making the clothes for the friends we already have. I think it's the hair that worries me the most, yours came out great!
Just wonderful and I am sure they will be so loved. Hope they won't be parted. You have made such a good job and they are just so pretty. Well done!
these are so lovely. i have just finished a soft baby waldorf doll but i really want to make one like you have. maybe this winter after...holiday craft season! great job! they will be loved:)
Beautiful dolls! What lucky girls! I don't think I ever loved dolls so much as now (as an adult) that I have discovered the Waldorf dolls. They are so full of warmth and handmade love.
Your Waldorf dolls look so soft and cuddley. The red-headed sisters are very lucky!
They are beautiful Renee! You did such a nice job!
Those are beautiful Renee! Lucky girls.
oh just visiting and i love them and their red hair. i remember buying my first red haired waldorf doll for my little redhead, and i knew then that eventually i wanted to try to make one.
love their sweet dresses! great job.
Renee your two little waldorf babies are gorgeous! You are very talented..
Have a wonderful weekend
warm regards

p.s. thanks for the calming inspirational words yesterday. I like the idea of the sunday stories by candlelight...I'm dreaming about it now.
SO beautiful! And as a mama of a little redhead, I'm so jealous! :)
Those dolls are absolutely gorgeous! I love the red hair!
Sending gratitude and happy thanksgiving thoughts to you and your family :)
