My youngest really wanted one of the elf on a shelf dolls but I could not justify $69AUD on one.
So I made her a sweet girl elf. She is made in the hoop about as tall as a barbie doll. I opted to do the final stitch line on my regular machine so I could make sure I had everything lined up properly. The hardest part though was turning all of her parts right side out including the ears! Thank goodness for haemostats and alligator forceps.
I wonder what mischief she will get up to. My daughter is super excited but I told her if the elf is too naughty the elf will have to live with Santa until her mischief magic disappears on Christmas Day
UPDATE: This little girl is now named Lucy and was caught reading one of our Christmas books The Naughtiest Reindeer. My daughter squealed and said "I hope she is not getting any ideas!"

109774How wonderful you are. You found a solution to commercialism. Yeah for you. The little elf is so very cute and your little girl is very smart.

Thank you so much. Thankfully my girls are more than happy to stay clear of most things that are commercialised or create their own take on things
19439So clever, Don't you just love the imaginations that the little ones have.

20Beautiful work and well done for finding a more economic way of giving your little girl an elf, much much nicer than store bought too.

267So cute and the fabrics you chose are perfect. If you are worried about Toogie's monkeys, you can send any extra elves to my house. I only have a couple of cats who get up to mischief occasionally and I wouldn't let them get to such a cute elf.

Thanks but I'm sorry you will not find her as she is my own design with a few design requests from my daughter as well.
2195This is so cute. Love her candy cane stockings! Don't let her get anywhere close to Toogie's mischievous monkeys or there will be lots of trouble
