Ella gets a new body

Ella has arrived with a request for a new body....she does have some noticeable body problems!

Her cloth body will be replaced and she will get a bath too.

Here is Ella taken apart.
She has had a bath and her old cloth body is ready to pattern a new one.

Well, here is a new body partly made.
But then I found our local fabric store had some peach fabric.....closer to Ella's original body color.
So it will get washed and used instead.

Ella now sports a new peach coloured body.
She is ready to go home.

But, uh oh....she does not fit into the box she arrived in now. With her reconstruction and a bit of plumping, the Oh Henry shipping box is too small for her.
Time to look for a new travelling box!
