I'm a classical romantic and love creative, beautiful things with a lot of attention to detail.
One December holiday I discovered a shop close by that had such gorgeous fabric. I just had to think of an excuse to buy some and that is where the doll bug bit!
I rewound back to my school holiday when my Mom took me to an old, round, friendly lady (Tannie Naomi) up the street to keep me busy by making my first Calico Doll.
I hope you will have as much pleasure from your doll, as I had making her.

Each Doll is unique in the combination of features and dress fabric. The body is made from Calico, a natural, unbleached Cotton, that I shrink, starch and then hand embroider the face. It is then Scotch Guarded for protection.
The stuffing used washes beautifully without bundling.
The fabrics are either imported or made locally but only the best quality cottons are used either in a 'Granny' or 'Designer' print.
100% Bamboo is used for the hair.

A Maquette Doll is a collectable, lovable gift for any little girl, but there not just for little girls!
