Adeline, A Rag Doll in Liberty Lawn

Adeline is a handmade rag doll made to my Agatha pattern so she is the tallest girl I make at 17 inches tall.  This doll's body is made from a vintage piece of calico, tea stained for age.  The calico is a more open weave and gives her a homespun appearance.  She has a hand painted face with hand embroidery for definition.  Her hair is the softest of browns with a faint hint of pink.

She has a rose quartz heart for love and lavender in her stuffing for a gentle scent.  She is dressed in a Liberty Tana Lawn fabric called Meadow.  This is a lovely 1930s floral design. It was printed as a wood block print at Liberty’s Merton printworks. Meadow was revived in the 1970s and has been on Classic Tana since 1986. It is in shades of soft purples and peaches on a cream background.  Her underskirts coordinate and are a powerloom spun cotton, with a lace underskirt to finish.  She has matching knickers and little leather shoes.  Her whole outfit is finished with organza ribbon and tiny button with a lavender sachet embroidered in sampler style.

Everything about Adeline has the softest feel, she is sweetheart.
