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

I always start with the fabric and go from there. This fabric is called Lola Weisselberg and is taken from hand drawn English botanicals . The fabric reminded me of autumn, when we see so many wrens in the dense ivy on our walls. In Lancashire we say Jenny wren but Kitty is common in other parts of the country, as is Cutty, Stubbitt and even Rindell.

Full description

This is Dulce, she is a hand embroidered wren 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. Dulce is dressed in a pretty autumn patterned cotton lawn from Liberty 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.
