Everyone....this is Olivia. Olivia meet.... Everyone!Okay, so I'm cheating a little because I actually finished this cutie patootie softie about this time last year when I first found out that my best friend back home was pregnant with her first child. But she's just so cute, I couldn't stand keeping her from you. She's based on Kate, the kitten in britches, a design by Jess Hutch and you can find the pattern here
you can find out more about Jess Hutch by clicking on her name above or there's a tab on the left side of this page with blogs I'm obsessed with. She makes the greatest ever robots, that's right ROBOTS, and the greatest ever. So Olivia ended up with a bit of a rounder, bean shaped profile than the one in Jess's pattern, mostly because I messed up a little, and started reducing stitches too soon and it made Olivia's head a lot smaller than Kate, the cat in burgandy slacks's.
Since I was making her for a newborn, I decided not to risk those baby hands pulling off any buttons and choking on them or getting accidentally scratched by them, and embroidered Olivia's stunning features instead of sewing buttons on. I'm midway through Olivia2, though sadly, she's been at the bottom of my to-do pile for quite some time now.... Someone else will just have to breed so I finally have an excuse to finish her!! (Note to Amy: the pinafore I promised you is at the top of the to-do pile.)
