Sewing Project: Christmas Elf Dolls

July 27, 2016
I know, I know! I said the ‘C’ word in July, but I just couldn’t resist! There’s been a lot of talk about Christmas in July in the blogging world and I just couldn’t resist making an early start! 


I decided to make our twin girls a Christmas Elf each!

Unlike some of the other dolls I’ve made, I decided against using a coloured fabric for their body, instead I opted for a skin coloured fabric. This way the dolls when the dolls aren’t dressed they’re naked! 



The reason behind was so that I could make the dolls different outfits meaning that they’re not specifically Christmas Elves all year round! Come Halloween, they could be a witch or a ghost if I chose to make those outfits for them.



They’re versatile and great dress up dolls! I used a dolls and daydreams pattern for both the dolls and for the outfits they’re wearing. 

What do you think? Here are a few photos of the creative process!

I started Twin Mummy and Daddy in 2012.  

Over time Twin Mummy and Daddy has gone from strength to strength. I write about our family life, my love for running and our passion for adventure and travel.  

We’ve also started living a more eco-friendly life. As such I also write about our zero waste journey in a bid to encourage others to think about the impact they have on the environment.

I’m a keen runner and in April 2019 I ran the London Marathon for an amazing charity called WellChild. It’s one of my biggest achievements to date. I raised over £2,000 for the charity and learnt so much along the way.

This year we’re passionate about spending time outdoors. We’ll be sharing our travel, days out and camping adventures right here on Twin Mummy and Daddy.
