I think they distress the cloth before they make the dolls. this makes sense, as you wouldn't have to worry about getting stuffing wet later on. You probably already do this. I have been thinking about trying to make a simple old looking rag doll and some that look like the Hatch collection. Your dolls are a big influence in my wanting to do this. They are so pretty.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165693001910322264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651354379965973405.post-51637948840088961332012-04-26T18:45:53.660-05:002012-04-26T18:45:53.660-05:00Sherri, thanks for the fabric info...I will check ...Sherri, thanks for the fabric info...I will check them out!

Below are a few links (you'll have to copy & paste the links, or search by name) that I have purchased fabric from. There is also a quilt shop in Springfield I go to that carries some repro fabrics but I mostly buy on line. I find repro fabric is rather expensive but it is all I use for dresses. I also mostly buy in 1/2 yard increments so I don't repeat, and can get more variety. I am just careful to look for small prints and purchase several prints at one time as shipping is rather expensive. <br />http://www.charlottescottagequiltshop.com/scripts/quiltshop.asp?category=Fabric<br /><br />http://www.reproductionfabrics.com/<br /><br />http://www.twobeesfabric.com/shop/1800s-Civil-War-Reproduction-Fabrics--Shirtings.htm<br /><br />http://www.nauvooquiltco.com/servlet/the-1800s-Reproduction-Fabric/Categories<br /><br />Hope that's helpful. Are you working on a doll now? I am looking for a photo or postcard for the MAIDA challenge.<br />SherriSherri Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106796132612922630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651354379965973405.post-86552584901772128612012-04-25T19:44:44.640-05:002012-04-25T19:44:44.640-05:00Sherri, I LOVE these dolls!!!
