Baby Doll Danielle


Baby Doll Danielle is a child-safe play doll. She stands 14” tall and is made especially for babies, toddlers or young children who want to safely gum, gnaw or suck on something soft, colorful and cute.

Baby Doll Danielle has yet to write her life story. She’s just a toddler now, but she will conquer the world someday. She comes from a long line of Makers, including professional musicians and artists, so no doubt she has a happy, long life ahead, filled with creative pursuits.

How Danielle was made
Danielle’s body is made in the MakerDoll style, from 100% organic, undyed (“natural”) cotton fabric, grown and woven in the USA. Her arm joints are secured with French knots made from undyed cotton embroidery thread. Her clothes are handmade from repurposed baby clothing. She’s wearing a colorful cotton gathered skirt and matching top, and her knickers are made from cotton stretch knit. She has on little hot pink boots, which she likes to wear so she can dance and clomp around on her grandparents’ wood floors. All her clothes are washer and dryer safe. Her facial features are hand embroidered with silk and cotton threads from my collection of vintage threads. Her hair is made of dark brown furry yarn, hand-sewn onto her head.
