kokeshi softie

My hubby got back from Japan about a month ago and brought me back some really nice fabrics.  They were small though.  Japan holds an extremely dear place in my heart, so I wanted to use the fabrics in something that would remind be of what they were from.  Plus, I've been wanting to try out one of these softies.

I think if I were to do another, I would do it differently but my daughter loves it.  She calls it her Japanese Princess.  It's not too bad for not being a good sewer and just sorta wingging if from a picture I quickly glanced at.
