These little dolls I called Jessie & Jack. Jessie's playing big sister! They are made from the same patern and only their clothing is different. These patterns can be modified to look quite different as is shown by my art doll creation - Percival Ponce! A little narrowing here and lengthening there, a wrap of cloth and the odd embellishment and it's all looking quite different!
My Blog is where I share my interest in cloth dollmaking. Please comment on my work, ask questions, and we can inspire each other! I am passionate about needle sculpting and developing new techniques and designing new patterns, so everyone can 'have a go'! I hope you will follow my blog and see what I can come up with that's new, and interesting!

My studio
This is a doll I designed and made last year. I wanted to make something that was fully sculpted that anyone could afford to make, so I made it in cotton fabric and used what I had on hand to embellish it. I used the cheapest fur fabric for her hair, which ended up looking quite 'trendy'! The doll was meant to be more about the sculpting than whaty it was wearing, so her clothing is minimalistic!
I named the doll "Krista" after a very good cloth dollmaker friend of mine, and she has been my most successful seller so far! "Krista is the doll I am currently teaching and my class are very enthusiastic about doing her.
Norahs is an anagram of Sharon - in case you're wondering!
My old blog had my name as Norahs, and when I changed my blog, somehow Norahs got left in and I don't know how to get rid of it! So my posts will be signed Norahs, but you can call me Sharon.
