Description

I was asked by my friend to create a mannequin for a school production of Singing in the Rain. It was meant to be headless…. I did check! I created the pattern from a combination of ragdoll patterns and drawing around my daughter to get proportions vaguely correct.

Steve was a hit with the girls and gets dressed up in girls clothes at any opportunity!

Material Notes

calico filled with polystyrene beads.

      I think you would have laughed more if you saw me carrying it down the road to my neighbours house! It looked like I was carrying a real person. I did get some funny looks!

      Thanks Ralf. I was worried I wouldn’t pull it off in time but a little faith and a sense of humour helped me along!

    He’s so cool! That must have been quite a project. Great work! I hope he will be as much of a hit on the stage as he is with the girls.
