This was the little vampire doll I made for Lucy. She had her 6th birthday party today. We love Lucy--especially Beeper. I think she is probably his bestest friend. Also, while we love Lucy, we still sometimes call her Lucifer because she has this streak of cunning and a bit of wickedness that is often surprising to observe in a kindergartener. And naturally, given her dark streak, Lucy loves monsters. So, a little vampire doll to play with and cuddle up with at night seemed perfect for our little Lucifer--I mean, Lucy.Yeah, it's kind of Edward-Gorey-esque. But I am okay with that because I love Edward Gorey. I made it from Emily's Black Apple Doll pattern you can find here. And then I added on the mary-janes and a little red velveteen capelet--which you can find my tutorial for how to make those, right here. I made the little white felt ghost too, but you are on your own with that if you want to make one of those.
And I might add, Lucy was 100% Lucy today at her party, and 0% Lucifer. Must be the added maturity that comes with turning 6.

MamaMonster: I embroidered her face--but there is no reason you could not paint it. And a boy version would be fantastic.
