14 inch Primitive Cat made with muslin and stained

This cat was done up from an old 972 pattern I have laying around my home.  I made the cat from muslin then stained the cat with instant coffee, vanilla and cinnamon.  The cat is filled with fiber fill and I have hand painted the facial features free hand using acrylic paints.  You can find this sweet little cat here http://www.etsy.com/listing/87608472/14-inch-muslin-primitive-cat-rag-cloth  to purchase, this cat is more for us older doll lovers rather than a young child.

Today's Doll 13 inch Ginger Bread Baby


This little 13 inch rag cloth doll is what I call a baby ginger bread doll, she is all my very own design. I have made her from a brown cotton knit and filled her with fiber fill. The facial design is all my very own and I have used acrylic paints to do the facial features and rick rack look around the head, arms and legs. The dress is a cotton blend with a neat rick rack design with no hem at the bottom of the dress, I wanted a ragged look to the dress. Her hair is a wool heavy yarn that I have hand sewn into the head of the doll using quilting thread. There is a also a green plaid bow in her hair to give some contrast. You can find here here http://www.etsy.com/listing/86746006/13-inch-ginger-bread-baby-rag-cloth-doll
I also have a coupon for free shipping running so be sure to come check it out!

Howie The Black Cat in a Pumpkin, 14 inch rag cloth doll




Meet Howie the cat! This is one of my original designs; I thought of him by just drawing out an idea I had then I created the pattern.
Naturally he is filled with fiber fill and I have used some really cute cotton quilting fabrics to create him. His is recycled fabric from a corduroy dress I had laying around my house. He has button eyes and a button nose that have been hand sewn in using quilting thread there is some orange satin ribbon tied around his neck along with some whiskers created by using a heavy rayon thread. You can find him here to purchase: http://www.etsy.com/listing/57547707/14-inch-pumpkin-kitty-kat-rag-cloth-doll
I think he came out purr-r-rfect for Halloween decor.
