Penelope comes with two plaited buns that can be decorated with bows, along with easy-to-sew shorts, a skirt, a headband, and ballet-style shoes. (Some example photos may show a slightly different shoe style.)
 
Perfect for using up fabric scraps, this pattern is suitable for both beginners and experienced sewists. Once finished, Penelope makes a charming gift or a lovely addition to a child’s room or play area.
