Sorry everyone that this is a few days over due.

We are going to first sew up the body, arms and legs for the first week.

Page 35 in the book has the written instructions, as it says in there if you think you will find the legs for the ballerina too difficult then make the Ballerina Princess on Page 11 instead.

Well ladies....
I have had a busy week.

Use a water proof marker. Mark with a pencil where you want the eyes to go.
