I am barmy about them. I have found a lovely book called sewing cloth dolls and there is an adorable pattern which I have made five dolls using so far.
The premise goes...imagine you have been exploring your great grandmas attic and you found a chest with vintage rag dolls in it.
I also like real vintage ones. I have just bought the most crazy girl from e bay, lovely age marks and leather hair. She sits on my bed side table.
i also have a four feet high one I made with a silk skirt and top and bloomers, a steam punky hat and a vintage jacket. I would fill my house with them.

Does this mean that bare polar bears are okay?

Do you mean ones in their bare bear skin, or ones that are unclothed but furry?

Are photos allowed? I will post some tomorrow. My next rag doll is going to be a small mermaid to go in the ceramic bath I found in a charity shop. It is about ten inches long. I am going to knit her a tiny blanket with silk tassels in sea colours and fashion some sea creatures to toss in. |

Modelled on me, of course. Just made her. Tail is glorious. Needs hair. |

Shall I send you some? My hairbrush is so full of it, it's a wonder I'm not bald. But my hair is so thick it never looks any thinner.
