This big girl is sure to fill your home with smiles this spring!

Meet Emmie & Grace. They’ve been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. Emmie measures 28″ tall from head to toe. Grace measures a wee 8″. Emmie sits nicely on her own. Her lower torso is rag-stuffed & bean-filled in order to weight her little bottom. Both dolls have been painted & sanded a couple of times, giving them lovely, aged patinas. Emmie’s been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Grace has been sealed with a transparent varnish with UV filter.

Emmie & Gracie have been painted with a variety of media. Emmie’s nose & hands have been needle-sculpted by hand. Grace’s ears have been needle-sculpted as well. Emmy sports brown painted gloves. She also sports the cutest painted brown boots with tan locks & vanilla laces. They’ve been shaded & highlighted.

Emmie wears a white muslin blouse. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline and back. It is finished off with a vintage mother of pearl button. Her apron dress has been made from 100% cotton prints in shades of soft green, apricot & chocolate. The hem features hand-stitching in a contrasting brown thread. Emmie’s blouse & Grace’s skirt was treated to a lavender bud/coffee bath for a slightly aged appearance. All clothing was then hand-washed & pressed.

Emmie’s purse is sewn of brown burlap. It features a vintage button & folky hand-stitching. It also features a chocolate brown strap fastened with embroidery thread. The purse is removable as the strap in the back is attached with a safety pin. Her purse is filled with color washed muslin “grass” & is the perfect resting place for little Grace. Of course, Grace can be displayed separately. She does not sit or stand on her own but is great for propping! Her beautiful skirt features a hand-stitched hem.
