It’s all in the details … I love the raised glasses… the htv flock for the black in the shirt … and any time you have an enclosed area like the black butterfly, you can easily get rid of the seams running through by cutting a piece of black cardstock to add over it. In the end, with a 48 inch character, she will have probably a total of .5 inches in seams that won’t be noticeable.

❤️ the black on her shirt is htv flock to give that fabric look and feel

❤️ the pom pom earrings - I knew my pom pom making days weren’t over!

❤️ the layered glasses so it’s not sitting flat on her face 🤓🤓.

❤️ the yarn butterfly

❤️ more htv flock colored with sublimation markers for the petals on her skirt

❤️ yarn tassels on the skirts edge

❤️ “Mirabel” stitched onto her skirt and other stitched details using embroidery floss
