My cloth dolls

Here you will find pictures of the dolls I have made from cloth. If you are interested in purchasing one of these dolls or a doll similar you may email me with your intentions. Arrangements can be made for you to own one of the sweet little dolls with your choice of hair, eye and skin color. Making dolls has become one of my wonderful obsessions.

I hope you enjoy looking at my babies. The gourd dolls are included on these pages as well even though they would not be considered cloth.

This is the first cloth doll I ever made. I was around 13 years old when I made her for my sister Melody for Christmas the year we knew that Christmas was going to be very lean. 35 years later Melodyr still has her and the little box that my other sister made for her to go in. She is made from one of Daddy's socks.

This is Cecile. She is made from Craft Velour and has a painted face and yarn hair. She is very sweet and has been adopted.

Alabama baby

This is Ana Sue. She has a cloth covered, hard, plaster head. I made the head by wrapping an old doll head in rigid wrap. She is patterned after the Alabama Babies made by Ella Smith, although not an exact replica by no means.

Ana Sue's face looks nothing like the original Alabama Baby. I made her outfit. Her jumper is rubber stamped with little flowers and leaves. Her bonnet is made from a vintage lace fabric table runner.
She is oil painted.

This is my interpretation of a Greiner doll in cloth. I made her to be used in an opera in California where they needed a Victorian style doll that could not be broken. She ended up not being used. But she was adopted by the family whose young daughter was to use her in the opera.
