Half Doll Beth

I have included this doll Beth and skirt from a previous post as I wanted to show you the difference in using the same pattern,but how to achieve a differnet look.This can be done by using either a contrasting cotton to the bead,or a cotton that is close in color to the bead.This is the same pattern,as I have done for my doll Rebecca,but the look is totally differnet.So even if you are starting out and have only a couple of patterns to choose from,you can change the whole look,by swapping cottons and beads.

Pattern uses 1 x hanks of beads

1 x ball of perle 8 cotton.
