These are my little mermaid dolls...I have been selling mermaid dolls for over five years on eBay and at my farmers market. I have changed the pattern over time and am happy with how the look now.
The ones below have felt eyes sewn on with tiny stitches,but the new ones will have printed eyes.
Their faces are hand embroidered, the hair is acrylic yarn and everything is sewn on with very strong thread.
The bodies are curtain weight cotton...the tails are poly/cotton. I have stuffed each down to the tail fin which is sewn across in a 'v' shape to mimic a fish tail.
Each doll has something different in her hair...a bead shell...starfish....sometimes a flower, whatever at the time I feel is right for the doll. I buy the flowers that give her a little Modesty.....
