What lucky granduahgters you have Rose. You'll have fun making the clothes I'm sure. I had no idea those heads were available. They are just adorable.

Those truly are adorable!

What fun for you! Would love to see the outfits you create!. Why did you want them smaller? I've seen the full size heads at Michael's I think it was.

Very creative! Please re-post when you have made the clothing for the dolls.

So professional looking! They look great.

Nicely done!

Thanks everyone. I made the smaller size because the girls are small and so it would be something a little different.

You are SO talented! Those are adorable! I'm sure the clothes will be equally wonderful.

How cute! If I still had any clothes patterns I would send them to you. When I couldn't afford the dolls IF they were even available I found a doll pattern including the heads--yours are more 'official'.

Rose, your dolls really hit home with me. My daughter was of that age when the CP dolls became popular and I made her some from a pattern. I thought that they were cute and they looked pretty much just like yours. But, it wasnt just dolls that he kids wanted. They only wanted those dolls that were Cabbage dolls. Daughter was not enchanted.

So, the dolls just lived in a box somewhere for years. When I began to declutter and address things that were stored, I took them out and dressed them in some clothing and baby shoes left from my now full grown, and aging, kids. They sat there together on the couch with their arms aroudn one another for a long time. No one used the couch anyway.

I tried to find new homes for them, but no one wanted to adopt them.

So, I put them outside in the swing on the front porch where they are happily rotting away in a display of mouldy and deteriorating kids toys that has become something of an art piece for me. I am not even going to try to explain. It is a very private inspiration and meant for only me .

But your dolls look so much like the ones that I made. The pattern was Simplicity, I think. It made up well.

Have your ever heard of the Sew Sweet doll patterns? I discovered them a long time ago and they are the absolutely sweetest littel dolls, ever. I think that they may still have a Facebook page.

I bought a Wellie Wisher doll from American Girl for my grand daughter a couple of years ago, and sewed a full wardrobe for her and made her lots of littel shoes. Then I got a couple of cases from Ikea and made a "closet" inside with drawers and hangers. I made little hangers and hung up all the dresses and a little shoebag with the shoes. It is one thing that she has retained an interest in. I have to say , though, this little doll is so hard to sew for because the clothes are so darned little!

Your two girls there look so much like the ones I made so long ago.

Let me share a doll thing.

I am a boomer and when we were little budding boomers us girls were given dolls and we really played with them, a lot.

So, as an old boomer I have these three dolls that still remain.

One is a Sweet Sue walkling doll with a sound maker in her belly.

Another was a doll dressed as the comic image of gypsy, complete with the scarf , long skirt, and vest . But she is now listed as a "Halloween" doll as she is being seen as one who is in costume. Oh well.

The third one that I always called my bride doll, but she actually is dressed in a satin gown and velvet coat is a Dollykin doll that is totally jointed and articulated, right down to the wrists and ankles.

Here is the unsettling part of it now...........each doll had an issue that makes it now necessary that the doll be restrung with the moving parts . they are mostly taken apart and I have a small old fashioned suit case from way back when and in it are all of these disembodied doll parts!

I took my adult daughter aside and showed her this because I just wanted her to know that her mom is not off wierd in some way. They are quite creepy and look as if there could be something sick and sinister about it. But there is not.

I really hope someday to put them back together again, just because I used to love them so much. You know, get online, find the supplies and spend a winter afternoon bringing back the joy, right? Not happened yet.

But the faux cabbage ones that I made are the starting point of the personal art thing that I have going out in the chair on the front porch. It makes people think when they see it . If they only knew about the disembodied doll parts in the suitcase! I guess this could be taken as crazy if not explained. I wont explain my art, Anyone who sees it will probably remember and think about what was that all about? Thus it speaks for itself.
