HULA GIRL
Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3
Follow basic instructions for doll on [page 19].
FEATURES: For eyes, sew two white oval pieces of felt to face. Embroider a line across each one, stitching a small brown button just below. Cut a mouth-shaped piece of red felt and sew into place. A small up-turned nose can be embroidered in brown yarn (Figure 1).
HAIR: Make black yarn pom poms (see P-28, [page 32]) and sew closely to head.
DRESS: For a halter top, cut a 3″ wide strip of gay soft material, gather a little along bottom and tie around body above waist. Make a tuck at the middle front (Figure 2). For the hulu skirt use raffia, yarn or strips of dyed nylon stocking. Wind yarn around a piece of cardboard 6″ wide about 100 times. Slip a 12″ length of ribbon under loops, leaving ends free (Figure 3). Cut opposite edge of loops, remove carefully and tie around waist (Figure 4). Over this fit a 1″ wide ribbon.
PANTIES: Cut from the same material as top piece, pattern design C-3, [page 29].
FINISHING TOUCHES: Push small curtain rings over waists and ankles. Stitch to ears for earrings. Fasten a string of beads around neck to hide seam. Tuck an artificial flower into the hair. Twist several colored pipe cleaners together to make a lei.
