However, when friends look around and find something they want, I usually give it a whirl. A friend went to Disney World with her husband and young daughter and asked me to make an Ariel doll for her little girl. I offered to make a removable tail and a dress so Ariel could be a mermaid and a human.
Since I don't do many of these, I didn't have safety eyes, so I sewed eyes on her face. The tail isn't exactly right, and I should have made the skirt fuller, but I like her hair and I really like the way I did the tie for the top. Though you can't see it, there is a loop on one end and a knot on the other, so it connects without having to be tied. I don't plan on listing it on etsy or making another one any time soon, but it is nice to know I have some versatility.
