The weekend after I discovered My Felt Doll by Shelly Down in my local public library, I was so enchanted that I rushed out to Michael's to stock up on felt, embroidery thread, yarn, and a big bag of stuffing. Something about the faces of those sweet dolls compelled me to jump headfirst into the hobby of dollmaking.
I quickly learned that - fellow Canadian! - Shelly Down blogs and sells her wares on Etsy under the moniker Gingermelon, where I discovered a charming smorgasbord of doll patterns...patterns for doll outfits...patterns for doll shoes! Patterns for piglets, kittens, and unicorns! Oh my!
Since that weekend (which feels forever ago), I've developed an artisan's passion to create beautiful, handmade treasures...and no two dolls are ever alike. To everyone who has ever purchased a ChesterMolly doll, I would like to say thank you, with the sincere hope that my creation gives you or your loved ones much joy.
