This is one I sent out a while ago. She is made from a shirt sleeve and some ric-rac. I stuffed her with a grocery sack instead of polyfil. Her hair is made out of embroidery floss.
Here is the address for Dot’s blog: http://dotslifeandart.blogspot.com
She is the originator of the dotee doll.

Her products are greeting cards and earrings sold together as shown. What a great idea!
