I have been busy playing with cloth dolls since 1996. I love the shape and form and colour we can get with textiles and the versatility of dolls. Dollmaking is a wonderful art form and I love that there is no right or wrong way to do it and that each doll we make, we make it our own according to our current skill level. There will never be enough time to make all the variations on any single pattern and teaching and being in a class gives us access to those variations. Fabulous!! What a time saver!! There is still no time for housework though.

This circle of ladies is based on a chain of dolls. They can be sewn as nudes all in one or with appliqued bathers or jumpsuits for the more demure doll maker. In the centre of the circle I have a floating candle in a glass candleholder (purchased from Thingz). The breasts, bellies and bottoms are accentuated with trapunto. The machine embroidery is done in a narrow scarf length to wind between their arms.
