Cloth Dolls

These pioneer dolls were commissioned by one of my favorite stores in the United States. Lehmans Non-electric Hardware and Appliances Store	This is the back of the pioneer wagon display that I made the dolls for.
This is my first group of dolls.	This doll is based on a country french blue and beige combination. These dolls make wonderful decorations and companions for younger children. They are not craft items. I finish all the seams, and the dresses can be unbuttoned and thrown into the washing machine like a normal outfit. The hair is sewn on by hand. I do not use glue on my most of my dolls. Many of my dolls are outlasting their owner's childhood, after being dragged around for years!! A doll similar to this one would cost $95.
I always felt that it was important to have nice dolls of different ethnic groups. So many dolls in the stores have awful coloring. I thought this coffee brown was a lovely color, and the curly hair (it is glued on because it is next to impossible to sew on all the fine strands) lends a nice realistic touch. (I now use black yarn for my Afri-american dolls). Those are bunches of cherries on her blouse. !! A doll similar to this one would cost $95.	I like Victorian items, and this doll has a face that reminds me of Victorian times. Her eyes and mouth are embroidered in Satin stitch. She has fluttery willful bangs. !! A doll similar to this one would cost $95.
This is my concept of a doll in a victorian lace dress. The dress has a drop waiste, and leg of mutton sleeves with lace at the cuffs, the puffs, and the neckline. The dress is tucked up a little to show the matching lace and ribbons on the pantaloons. !! A doll similar to this one would cost $95.00.	This doll is in a simple afternoon dress, with lace at the cuffs. The sleeves are leg of mutton and there is a cloth ruffle at the neck. Her hair is curly black but.....I now use black yarn for my Afri-american dolls. The dress is tucked up a little to show the matching lace and ribbons on the pantaloons. !! A doll similar to this one would cost $95.
This doll is still available. The coloring is not a good representation at all. Her dress is a beautiful marroon with off-white pin-striping. The blouse has marroon and gold little flowers that coordinate perfectly. Her hair is sewn on, not glued. !! A doll similar to this one would cost $95.
