Tatted Egg Doll Challenge for the Comfort Doll Project.

I would like to offer tatted eggs to the first five people willing to make a doll using the tatting for contribution to Pat’s comfort doll project.

Are you up for this challenge? You can make the doll anyway you like, let your creativity shine. I call them my egg dolls but please give your doll a unique name.

The tatted egg is a pattern from Emma Crew. I've made two egg dolls so far, one for Pat, one for a blog giveaway. I thought I will start to make them again, with your company, I hope.

6 Sep 2008 update: Three tatted eggs still available. Thank you for the company and taking up the challenge, Singtatter and Melusine. Melusine has contributed to Pat's Comfort Doll Project but she is making another.

10 Sep 2008 update: Another one has gone to Lana. Thanks Lana, for your participation!

  1. Egg doll ? Something new to me, but looks interesting and meaningful, the comfort doll project. I don't sew much, and not on the machine at all. I don't mind making the egg doll, but I don't know if I am up to it. Would it be possible that you include the fabric for the body too ? Is there any deadline, and where do I send the doll upon completion ?

  2. Yes, I can include some fabric. I hand sew mine with back stitch. There isn't a deadline but please send the doll to Pat. Details are on the comfort doll project blog.

  3. Cool - may I have one of the two on the bottom? The one on the bottom right is in two of my favourite colours and the other would challenge me as it is rather pastel. I've already made two dolls for the Comfort Doll project - one went to Pat and the other went to Jo in NZ. Recently, I've been contemplating making another one for Pat.

    Sure you can. I am going to get you the pastel one (bottom left). Nothing like a challenge. It's great to enjoy making something for a good cause. I hope you have fun!!
