My kits are intended for people who are comfortable with sewing and who may never have tried other techniques. The instructions are detailed and the steps, if followed, will work. Only the highest quality materials are used and each kit will teach the maker techniques to use elsewhere.

Special Edition Noah's Ark Kit revisited from my old discontinued kits. This pulltoy ark set is very small and is a good sized toy for smaller dolls especially the Early American Series or even Hitty, but could be a good toy for any size doll or Santa. Kit has pulltoy ark with wheels, Noah, and 4 sets of animals on small bases plus complete paints and instructions. A pretty easy kit in spite of scale. Ark is about 2 inches long and animals are less than 1/2" tall. Kit $38 Add to Cart Finished Set with book $98 Add to Cart

12” THREE-DIMENSIONAL CLOTH DOLL WITH TRADITIONAL LOOK
This doll was designed as a good size for a class - still small, but yet easy to work. She is a compromise between the 9” Basic Doll and the 15” Historical Folk Doll #5. Her hair is a mohair wig in two styles and she has a painted cloth surface and a stencil for her face. Her clothes, which include underclothes and a nightgown, may be removable, even her real stockings and shoes, just in case she is to be for a real child. Contains paints, stencil, hair, buttons and body fabric.

PRIMITIVE ANIMALS
I have a small collection of antique primitive cloth animals, but because they are rare, I only have a few - two dogs, two cats, a lamb and one questionable species (dog or rabbit), but charming nonetheless and my favorite one. There is something so straight-to-the-heart about these sweet playthings, often sewn from old coating or other scraps and stuffed with rags. Like primitive dolls whose shapes are often pared down to the essentials (keeping in mind that most of these dear things were not made with patterns), it is this naive look that appeals. Most often one finds them in old dirty whites or browns as these coarser weaves were common, so most of mine will also be in these grungy tones. The patterns will inspire you to make them in many types of fabrics, one more endearing than the next. The animals are divided up into two patterns as well as kits for each one and completely finished.
