Both dolls look fantastic, Gabriella is my choice, love her curly hair. What a great project and cause, I’ve never heard of it before
I’ve made four purses for the Sew Powerful Purse Project. Two last year and two this year and I plan on making many more. This year with the Lord’s help I got a group of 13 ladies together and taught them how to make the purses. We got two finished, several cut out, some half done, and 40 notes written for the girls!
It’s hard to choose between Gabriela and Melody, however, I vote for Melody as she reminds me most of the sweet Needs Care School girls. Beautiful job, and I love how the purse has orange on it one of their favorite colors!
I really like both, but gonna go with Melody. And I love that you all have incorporated the Sew Powerful Project in this one! Such a cool mission!
Melody! The dress goes well with her time period and looks super cute on her!
I vote for Gabriela, she is beautiful and the outfit. I absolutely love this weeks giveaway. I love that you are bringing Sew Powerful into the spotlight. I would love to win her and agree that this would make a wonderful teaching tool for Sew Powerful. Perfect! Thank you Pixie Faire for this giveaway.
