Handmade Dolls
Pillowcase and Turn of the Century Dolls
 
We go to estate sales and antique shops for vintage linens or purchase new fabric for our handmade dolls.  All estate and antique shop linens are cleaned before construction.
 
Basic Construction
 
All dolls have a white torso body made of broadcloth and are faceless.  Collars and bodices are lined.  Seams are finished to prevent fraying during cleaning.   Dresses with waist ribbons have belt loops to help prevent shifting.  We used snap fastners (grippers) for dress closure in back.   
 
                                                    Linen Care
 
One product we have used over the years is Biz.  You will be amazed at the results. Many stains and yellowing are gone. (I have actually removed oil, grease, grass stains, etc. by soaking overnight).  BE SURE TO CHECK FOR COLORFASTNESS BEFORE USING.  FOLLOW PACKAGE DIRECTIONS.   
 
 
 
 

Pink Lace Doll
Click for Detail
#CDFT6. Pink Lace Doll

This faceless handmade doll is one of my favorites.   The lace and fabric used in this dress design was found at an estate sale.  The rose pink "Doeskin" fabric has a nice shine and would look lovely by itself.  Lace was added for a more elegant look.  White ribbons on hat and sleeves. 24"long.

Toille Doll

#CDFT23. Toille Doll

The beauty of Toille (also Toile) is timeless.  History dates its origin to the 1700's.  While designing our faceless handmade dolls, we found this beautiful navy blue country scene pattern and could not resist the temptation to design a dress. Navy blue piping was inserted in the skirt, sleeves, hat, and collar as accent.  Skirt has a 54"  circumference at bottom.    Overall doll length 23".  Navy blue ribbon on hat.

White Pillowcase Doll

#CDFT6. White Pillowcase Doll
Who says you have to use an old pillowcase to create a faceless handmade doll.  Our dress was made from a new embroidered pillowcase.  Apron and collar has our version of matching embroidery.  Eyelet trim  on sleeves and collar.  White ribbons.  26" long.
