"Madame Le Chat" by Jamielynn DaVault

A new challenge for me last year was this armature doll. Pattern by Stephanie Novatski. I've made over 100 cloth dolls, but never a full armature before. I created my own little mouse with matching outfit (instead of the store bought mouse the pattern called for). I added a tiny little metal "pooper scooper" to the faux pearl mouse leash. What ladies they both are!

"Oceanna Blue" by   Maria Buckner

This is "Oceanna Blue", Deanna's Muse. This is my third attempt, made for my daughter, Deanna's birthday, from Bonnie B. Lewis' & Mary Ann Kaahanui's patterns, "A Doll for All Seasons", & "Merina, Bearing Gifts From the Sea."

I made the tyvek seaweed to use in the backdrop, which also included some floral spanish moss I had & a "sea fan" floral decoration I bought & reworked to give the doll stand an "ocean look." I also put "sticky-felt" cut to fit the base, & glued Florida (our home state) beach sand, shells,& coral rock (collected through the years) to the base. My husband found the "treasure chest"& little seahorse figurine online.

I was thrilled to be able to include some little treasures for our daughter in the chest!
"Oceanna Blue's" tail was made from the sequined bodice on my daughter's prom dress
overlaid on a lighter sea-blue, "wrinkly", silk-like remnant & various beads & jewelry trinkets. I had fun making "Oceanna Blue" & rekindling old memories!

They are versions of three Barbara Schoenoff patterns, Budgie, Finn Darian of Golden Meadows, Shar Lillia of Sylvan Shadows. I clothed Finn Darian and Shar Lillian using Babara's clothing pattern. Then created another version of Shar Lillia using my own technique. I used a crocheted handkerchief for Budgie's diaper and shawl.

A little while ago I submitted a picture of my very first doll - one which I had made into a bride. Now that I have the doll-making bug, I wondered if you might like to see my second creation. She is a wire, wrapped doll, again from Ray Slater's 'Cloth Dolls for Textile Artists' book. I stuck to the pattern for the wire armature, but then had lots of fun dressing her in my own style! I made a turban for her (as I didn't have any doll hair), embroidered her face, used a chiffon scarf for her dress, and then scattered a few handmade roses on her.

I hope that you enjoy seeing her picture, and thank you for your completely addictive website!

I used the Danielle doll pattern from Barbara Willis' book Cloth Doll Artistry to make these dolls. I haven't mastered the face sculpting yet so I just made painted faces. I made four for my girlfriends in celebration of us all truning 60 , and one for my sister who recently had a birthday.  It is a great way to use up dressmaking scraps and craft embellishments.  I have several more to make and I will definitely be using this pattern again.  I'm still searching for various skin shades.  The chairs are from Warehouse Craft Supplies at $33.52 per dozen and are very well made.

I am a newbie to the whole fabric doll designs. I have been making my own version of worry-dolls for years but wanted to branch out into the while fabric and soft-sculpture dolls. The doll is from a pattern by Susan Barmore. It is of her "Tish" doll.

Her name is Melaine and she is cute lil bedeviled fey. I use yarn for her hair and fabric scraps I had on hand to make her outfit. Her wings are made out of Angelina Film, microbeads, and glitter. She was a joy to learn and make and now she has a home with my mother who claimed her as soon as she was done!

I've named the doll "Dance like it's 1980 again!". She is from Jill Maas' pattern "Dancing Doris". The hair is Tibetan lamb, the shoes are key chains and the clothing is from recycled finds at the local thrift store. I love Jill's designs & thoroughly enjoyed making this doll!!!

If you are from an older generation (before cable TV), you might remember
playing Clue. I got the silly idea to create the characters using Jill
Maas's Jude, Isabelle and Errol patterns. I had a blast making each one
follow the character from the game right down to the weapons.

These are my first attempts at doll making and I love it!

The first three (above) are made from Cindee Moyer's pattern "Beatrice". I never did make Beatrice but came up with many different versions of the pattern. I call them "big bottomed gals"!

The next photos (below) are from a pattern from Patti Culea's Creative Cloth Doll Making book.

I am from Michigan and took sewing lessons in March just so I could make Beatrice. I keep on going because it is so much fun to imagine and create all these wonderful faces and clothing. Thank you for providing such a wonderful website with such great artists and patterns!

Doll Made by   Beth Beglin
of Western Australia

She is Sonja - Witch of the Forest by Sylvia Schorr.
I am a beginner doll maker and she is the third doll that I have made, I live country Western Australia so used fabrics that I had on hand. Her dress and hat are black felt and her blouse and slip are of light weight cotton, and her pumpkin is felt. Her body is pale pink homespun. I used watercolour pencils on her face and followed Patti Culeas advice on facial drawing and colouring. She was a challenge and there are plenty of mistakes but I love the end result.

This doll is a simplified version of Barbara Schoenoff's pattern, "In the Style of Queen Anne." I did not needle sculpt the face as I wanted more the look of the old-fashioned penny wooden dolls.
