The new girls, that is.
These four are the first of a new batch of vintage Liberty fabric dolls, made using some of the wonderful stash I was sent by Sarah Campbell the other day…
My vintage button and trim stashes have been out for perusal too, as you can probably see.
Sometimes a bit of trim makes all the difference, doesn’t it?
This little lady is, I think, my favourite of the four. She is prepared for all eventualities, being supplied with a clean lace hankie in her pocket.
I have wardrobe envy. I have been searching for some form of pinafore dress (not too short, nor too flouncy or fancy) for myself for ages, without success.
And floral tights. Where are all the floral tights this year? Have they emigrated for the winter?
My friend thinks she should go into business making them to fit grown-ups, because you can’t buy nice winter tights for love nor money unless you’re under five years old – we’ve both tried.
Anyway, I might not be able to wear a pinafore dress and floral tights, but my doll can. (Lucky girl.)
My second favourite of the Liberty girls quartet is boho girl below…
Swathed in flowers, she may just be a little bit louche, I think, and given to reclining on a day bed displaying her tinkling laugh and sipping champagne.
Currently she is dressed for a luncheon engagement, but I have a feeling she may spend quite a bit of her time clad only in her peignoir.
Whereas this girl is clearly just a tomboy in a party frock…
Tomorrow I’m going to make a start on dressing a couple of bunny boys.
I’m thinking breeches, waistcoats.
And just possibly, a cravat. â„
P.S. You can now order custom dolls from my Etsy shop here.
Your dolls are beautiful. I love the vintage Liberty. Xxx
Thank you Amanda! Glad you like them!
Your new batch of girls are foxy ladies! Gorgeous, gorgeous outfits and I love the new level of detail.
These are absolutely gorgeous. So unique and individual.
I can’t choose a favourite… they’re all the cats pyjamas! xx
Love them all!
They are SO awesome. I love your creations. Don’t stop now …
I love them all.! Such wonderful characters!
I’m a little bit obsessed with theseđ»đ»đ»- any chance I could comission you to make a set for my crazy cat lady daughter who turns 8 this July??
Hi Christy, these particular dolls can be commissioned from Sarah Campbell. Sarah can be contacted via her website: http://www.sarahcampbelldesigns.com/contact/
I would be happy to make them, however I would point out that these dolls are not created as toys but as collector’s items and therefore are not CE tested. This means that they are not considered suitable for children aged under 14.
Are these for sale? Love them!
Hi Sue, the dolls were commissioned by, and are for sale from, the designer of the fabrics from which they are made, Sarah Campbell. Sarah’s website is here: http://www.sarahcampbelldesigns.com/product-category/gifts/dolls/
Alternatively, if the doll you like is not currently listed in her shop, you can contact Sarah directly via her website to enquire about other dolls, or to place an order by commission.
Stunning……clever gurl!
Love these kitty girls! I’ve been making some very simple dolls, but have found turning small tubes (legs/arms) far from easy. Could you give me any hints?
I am in love! I just have some of these
