http://folksy.com/shops/smockerysmart Welcome to my shop. Everything you will find here is lovingly made, one at a time, with great care by the resident doll-making embroiderer. All dolls suitable for children are made in a smoke and pet free environment from new materials. Stuffing meets BS specifications for flammability and cleanliness. en-gb The recipient of the first Simple Stanley grew a little older and a little bigger, so I designed and made him a new doll - one that sits. We called him a "Sitting Stanley. Although this doll is listed as a collectable, he does like to be hugged and played with. He is quite robust. Sitting Stanley is based on a very simple version of a teddy bear. This doll has separate legs, a painted, lightly needle sculpted face and the hair is applique. Sitting, the doll measures around seven and a half inches, around eleven inches from head to toe. The legs and arms are moveable, fixed with plastic safety joints. The head is firmly stitched on, going round several times with strong thread. The face is painted with non-toxic heat set paints. The doll is made from hardwearing poly aloba fabric with a lovely, soft feel. It's a kind of synthetic suede fabric and it's almost indestructible. The doll is stuffed with polyfil that meets British Standards for cleanliness and flamability but, as always, keep away from fire or naked flame. There are no loose parts. I have, of course, had the opportunity to test the original in a machine wash on a cool, gentle setting! Tumble drying is not recommended. This listing is for one doll in blue. smockerysmart Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:54:41 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3021506 http://folksy.com/items/3021506 Small stuffed cloth boy doll wearing blue.

They are just the right size for tiny hands to grasp and have a smiley face and a range of different textures for small people to explore. I use polyester suede for the face and arms because it has a nice 'peachy' feel and firm bright Laura Ashley cottons for the body. The doll is stuffed with polyester stuffing that meets safety specifications for flammability and cleanliness but, as always, keep away from fire and naked flame. The arms are securely fastened both through the body and again through the head. The hair is a knitted wig, sewn on securely. The face is embroidered with simple stitches, rather than painted, because I just don't think fabric paint, however fixed, goes with all that dribble! You can wash these dolls in the washing machine on a cool or delicate wash with a slow spin, I don't recommend tumble drying. I have photographed one of the dolls against a ruler, so you can see the size. All the dolls shown in the photos are available. Please leave a message detailing the one you require. smockerysmart Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:57:43 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/3047426 http://folksy.com/items/3047426 Simple Stanley cloth doll The recipient of the first Simple Stanley grew a little older and a little bigger, so I designed and made him a new doll - one that sits.
