This group has as its purpose the sharing of information for making vintage type cloth dolls. We are interested in techniques, materials, supply sources, design sources, patterns, and other ideas. Our interests range from the techniques of dollmakers of the 1800s to cloth dolls of the types made in the early 1900s through the 1950s as well as primitive cloth dolls. We make our own cloth dolls, but like to study the work of others designers from the past and present.

Our homepage photo features dolls made by Mary Vlasak, a dear member who recently passed away in December 2007. She was an inspiration to many of us here, and will be sadly missed. Mary was also known as Airliefairy and her dolls and animals, some of them very tiny, always brought a smile to your face.
