Baby Waldorf-inspired dolls

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update from me.
I made these baby Waldorf-inspired dolls couple of months ago. They are around 20cm tall and perfect for a baby toy. Can be washed on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. Made from cotton and bamboo fabrics.


























Hope you enjoyed them!

Lots of love,

Waldorf dolls

Hello, my dear friends!

I haven't shared with you in a long time, so I have some things waiting for me to show you.
Couple of months ago, I had the chance to try the creamy bamboo jersey, which I thought would be perfect to use for the skin of my Waldorf inspired dolls. 
So I created this one for my dear friend Claudia and her shop:




It's 32cm tall and has something special inside: a small pink fabric heart. 




I love the symbolism of "giving life" to the doll, so all my dolls come with a small heart, which can be seen through their fair skin. :)




The dress is made from 100% organic cotton fabric.




Since I worked with the bamboo for the first time, I had no idea how stretchy it would be, compared to the cotton I was using before. When I cut the pattern, the head turned out to be too small for the body, after being filled. I don't like trowing away fabrics, so I decided to try a new pattern and create another doll. This is how this one was born:


It is 30cm tall and her arms and feet are slightly bended at the elbows and knees. Her hair is made from Mohair&Wool blend.




Thank you for sharing my passion again!
