Ruthie Mae Handmade Boy and Girl Rag Dolls

The latest dolls from ruthie mae handmade. These two softies were made for a fundraiser for a mama group I am in here in Portland. I secretly hoped my name would be pulled so I could bring them back home again!! The little boy doll is one of my favorites yet! I wish I had more custom orders to make little boy dolls. 

I've started adding some recycled/upcycled materials to my dolls as I can. This doll's hair is felted wool that has been repurposed from a dress.

I used free-motion quilting to create the jean details. LOVING it!

Dread Doll

Loved that last doll so much, I had to make another. This time I gave the doll dreads! 

Should I make more to add to my shop?

I have been obsessed with one line drawing for a while. Now I'm trying to pull some into these pieces through one line writing and line drawings. I've also started learning to do those kinds of drawings using my sewing machine for the face of a new doll I've started creating. My other obsession are these colors. I have always been a fan of the colors in the set with red and teal. I made those two pieces for my brother, and if he doesn't take them, I will more than gladly hang them in our bedroom.
