Handmade rag dolls 'I love you' ....

These are some of my 'I love you' dolls. I have sold more of these than an other thing I have made. I started selling them on eBay five years ago....They have changed a lot over the years as I have altered the pattern many times.
The idea came as I have so many left over bits of material...There is a limit to how much patchwork I have the need for.
Each doll varies slightly in height but they are about 9 and 1/2 inches tall. They are made from cotton and or poly/cotton....I spend too much time coordinating fabrics...embellishment and hair,but I like doing this.
The hair is acrylic yarn...sometimes I print the eyes ...other times I use felt, buttons or embroider. A lot of details are hand embroidered and everything sewn on is done with very strong thread. I make each doll slightly different so that each is unique. All the things I make are don't to the best of my ability.
