Please enjoy browsing and should you buy a doll she will be packaged in an organza bag. I have been given literally hundreds and will use them until they run out rather than let them go to landfill. Also I have been asked why I don't often repeat combinations of fabric with the dolls. It is because I tend to buy remnant stock where I can, tiny pieces of fabric that are too small for most people to use. So often I have only enough to make one doll. Thank you and my warmest wishes xx

The fabric is a Tana Liberty Lawn called Wild Flowers by Su Blackwell inspired by the nineteenth century book A Field Guide to Britains Wild Flowers. The colours just help to accentuate the stitch and help to define the character of the doll, Quite often it is the fabric that fires the idea for the doll as happened in this case.

Full description

This is Hope, she is a hand embroidered Bullfinch rag doll. I use no paint to delineate the pattern but work freehand embroidery onto self colour cloth to make the plumage both on the front and the back of the doll. Hope is dressed in a pretty pink patterned cotton lawn from Liberty called Wild Flowers by Su Blackwell with coordinating underskirt and a final lace underskirt to finish. She has stripy legs and little leather shoes. Her dress is finished with buttons and ribbon and she carries a little lavender sachet that is also embroidered. She has a little brass ring to her back so she can hang.

She stands just ten inches tall.

She is, as are all my girls, warm and companiable with a touch of English whimsy. I hope she makes you smile.
