Christmas Presents

This year, as I was coming up with ideas for gifts for friends, I came up with a 'perfect' idea! Since one of my friends literally has everything (especially any gift I tried to give her), I'd make her a present! Even better it would be cheaper than buying something! Little did I know that what it lacked in cost would completely be made up in effort! I decided to make her a Joe Jonas doll! I know, I know. You're all thinking: "Pw, really? Aren't you a little bit old for the Jonas Brothers? And you certainly you could find anything better than them!" Sadly, that is a completely different post for another time. Regardless, my friends are huge Jonas fans. I decided to go for a specific Joe Jonas from their Lovebug music video, pictured here: 

(Just so all you nay-sayers can compare how my final product turns out, alright?) Anyway.

After searching quite a bit online, I found a pattern here. All the fabric I found in remnants at Joannes for a total under 10 dollars! And then began all the crazy work! All this was going on at the same time as my cupcke pops, in that insane week before Christmas break! Friday was the traditional friend gift exchange. We all hung out in the afternoon and gift exchange was put off until about 8 o'clock to give my dear mother to slave over finishing these dolls in the back room while I...talked. And did other stuff. Obviously, all the help from my mom was a HUGE gift to me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to finish these dolls without her. But enough talk, onto pictures!

There are a few differences between the two (the buttons, the arms) But all in all they turned out pretty well. Thankfully my friends appreciated all the hard work I put into them.
