Vintage Hankie Skirts for Wooden Dolls

I am no longer carving wooden dolls, (health issues).

These One of a Kind Wooden Dolls are all for sale. They are $100 each + shipping.

I spent hours making little fitted shimmery vests, and spent more hours messing around with lace for skirts. Sadly, the lace skirts just didn’t cut it.

So, when a dear friend gave me some vintage hankies, I had an ‘aha!’ moment…. and the skirt dilemma was resolved: Tie the hankies on with ribbons. This is a super simple non-sew skirt option that I came up with decades ago for dolls in my book: Soul Mate Dolls: Dollmaking as a Healing Art. It works so well! And, now, I am happy!

Tiny Teddy for the Lily Doll Project

I am a dyed in the wool Teddy Bear fanatic. I especially like very very small bears.

So, of course, when I was designing for the Lily Doll Project, the first friend I designed for her is an absolutely tiny Teddy Bear.

These tiny Teddy Bears have my ‘signature’ hugging arms so they can hug back and also hold onto things.

Because they are so little, they are fairly quick and easy to make, so they are a great choice as Pocket Bears, and as Comfort Bears to give to other people.

The kits are available at: https://mirrixlooms.com/lily
