Baby Doll Sophie has yet to write her life story,
but rest assured, it will be an exciting one when she does. She already loves
to dance to her mom’s favorite music, and flashes her disarming smile when
she’s feeling mellow. I'm sure she will follow in her grandpa's footsteps and become a fixer and maker par excellence.
How Sophie was made
Sophie’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
cotton sundress with ruffles, and her knickers are made from cotton stretch
knit. Both are washer and dryer safe. She features little pink French knots to
resemble tiny stud earrings, and wears no shoes – just like a one-year-old who
prefers to go barefoot so she can wriggle her toes in the summer grass. Her
facial features are hand embroidered with silk and cotton threads from my
collection of vintage threads. Her hair is made of yellow yarn,
hand-sewn onto her head.
