CURRENT "OTHER" CUSTOM DOLL CLOTHING
November 2006
Emma allowed her dad to send "Annabelle" to me, in hopes of having her mended, for continued snuggling and care. Emma's dad felt it was time for "Annabelle" to retire and to come in contact with her "grandaughter" that I was commissioned to create for a Christmas gift for his
daughter Emma.
  
As you can see, Annabelle needed some much needed rest.
While Annabelle visited, Emma missed her terribly. The goal for this project is to have "Annabelle" return home in time for Thanksgiving, with a note explaining that she could no longer be mended. At Christmas, Emma will receive Annabelle's grandaughter as her special gift.
Jonathan, it has been a pleasure working with you. I look forward to hearing how Emma's Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday's are enjoyed.

Valerie's Cherished Childhood Doll Redressed
  Before pictures of Amy Lynn
Amy Lynn is a sock pattern doll, made from a 1980 Homespun Creations kit. Amy Lynn was made for Valerie's daughter, Tracey Lynn, by her granny as a special gift. Granny and Tracey were very close. When Tracey's granny developed the dreaded Alzheimers, Tracey, then 26 years old and single, moved out of her
apartment and moved in with her for two years to assist her. With the passing of her granny in 1999, who made this special Amy Lynn doll, it has become sentimental and a very special part of Tracey Lynn's memories.
Unfortunately, as many children might experience, the dress was misplaced. Amy Lynn arrived still in quality condition, wearing her original bonnet and bloomers.
The goal for this project was to try and find similar fabric and lace, to replicate the original dress and half apron. To replace older fabric is difficult, but in my search, Valerie was pleased with the fabric that I was able to find that closely resembled the original material.
Amy Lynn continues to wear her original bloomers, but now fashions a new dress, apron and bonnet. I used vintage lace to closely resemble the lace that is on the bloomers, and used rick rack, which was what was used for the original outfit, to replicate the original look.

Thank you Valerie for the privilege of remaking this outfit for you and your daughter. May she sit comfortably where she can enjoy the warmth of Tracey's home with fond memories of times past.
