Meet Mrs. Claus, the lovely wife of Santa, of course. She is made from a pattern I bought from Cloth Doll Supply. The pattern is by Barbara Graff and includes a whole family ranging from the tallest at 6 inches down to an infant measuring an inch and a half. http://clothdollsupply.com/graff.html It is a wonderful pattern and the since the dolls have pipecleaners in them they are completely flexible.
Mrs. Claus is wearing an empire waist dress of fine cotton. Her boots are painted black. Her hair is made from embroidery floss and wool yarn and is arranged in a bun. Her expression, well let's just say cheerful and leave it at that.
I still need to make panteloons for her, poor thing. I will probably make an apron for her, too. Santa is made, but not dressed. He is looking quite thin, but I can add some padding. I need to find suitable fabric for pants for him.
