I used to make cloth dolls by the hundreds and thousands.... all kinds.... muslin, sock, wooden, crocheted, etc. I had a doll booth at the Homespun Crafters Mall for awhile. I designed, exhibited, and won awards on my dolls. Things became very hectic in my personal life and I backed off from sewing and hobby work. Now I have more time on my old hands and am starting to make dolls again. I love it. I'm finding old friends on the clothdoll internet groups and it feels wonderful. I'm rebuilding my huge library of dollmaking information. The little doll shown is Bitsy from the current Soft Dolls and Animals magazine. Today I'm starting on a presbyterian doll challenge using the Presbylla pattern.
