Did you ever have a favorite shirt, pair of jeans, dress, that you just couldn't get rid of even though it didn't fit - had a stain - was damaged? I have an entire garbage bag full of t-shirts and other such clothing that has sentimental value, even though I can't wear the items anymore.
I have a plan for all of these items: cut them up and make a quilt. I've had this plan for over 10 years. I just realized how long it's been. Maybe it's time to move on.
People often give me things they no longer want, but they don't know what to do with. When I put it out there that I will take old jeans - I usually get a ton of old jeans. (Thanks!!)
I have found a new use for these old items. Rag dolls! I have been on a roll lately sewing these lovely ladies up. I adore their zombie like eyes. I think they are especially creepy and cute lined up together. I love that I'm putting some old clothes to new use.
These 3 are all made from the same pattern. I designed them, then designed and made the pattern and then made the dolls. I have other designs that I haven't yet made, so there's sure to be more rag dolls!
Custom Dolls
I can also make a doll with your favorite t-shirt, jeans, skirt, etc.! Just contact me and we can figure it out! What fun.
{Note: Due to small parts, these dolls are not recommended for small children as they could cause a choking hazard!}

Those dolls are so cute. I should make one with an old comforter I have from when I was a kid.
