Liesel, A Tiny Hand Embroidered Christmas Robin Folk Art Doll

This is Leisel she is a tiny hand embroidered Christmas winter robin rag doll, a new pattern and much smaller than the original bird ladies with the new birdier feet. I use no paint to delineate the pattern but work freehand embroidery onto self colour cloth to make the plumage both on the front and the back of the doll. Beneath her dress she has a tiny embroidered tail with her wings also heavily embroidered. Liesel is dressed in a pretty Acufactum cotton called Forest Tales, a new print for 2026. A rich pattern of fawn and brown mushrooms with tiny birds and berries. A lovely winter fabric. Beneath her dress are broderie anglais drawers and two layers of cotton and tulle underskirts. One in deep red woven gingham cotton and the other in white tulle. Her dress is finished with buttons and ribbon and she carries a little embroidery sampler sachet with a tiny embroidered robin hoop brooch that you can remove and wear yourself. She has a little brass ring to her back so she can hang. She has a piece of tiger's eye to her heart with rosemary and cinnamon bark in her stuffing for a gentle fragrance. These little birds are tiny, to just sit in your hand and are less than 7inches talll. She is, as are all my girls, warm and companiable with a touch of English whimsy. I hope she makes you smile. Please remember she is not a toy and not suitable for children.
