Dolls For Sale!

My Etsy shop has been open for a few weeks now and I've already got 20 listings: 2 are patterns you can use to make your very own dolls, and 18 are one of a kind felt art dolls you can buy and proudly display in your home!

First let's talk about the patterns: the Fashion Doll and the Pattern Doll.

The Fashion Doll is based on one of the very first custom patterns I ever made. She is 12 inches tall and she comes with a very cute and customizable dress and mini booties. She is completely hand-stitched, even her hair, so no glue or sewing machine is required.

The Pattern Doll is also a doll you can make yourself. She's only 8 inches tall and easy to sew. Like the Fashion Doll, she is completely handsewn. She doesn't come with any extra shoes or dresses so she's very good for beginners just learning to sew.

As for the 18 other listings, those are all felt art dolls completely handsewn by me using my own custom pattern I call my LuParis Doll Pattern.

I originally was only going to sell patterns in my shop but I've been making so many lovely dolls and they're honestly starting to take up space. With encouragement from my fiance I decided to sell the dolls I was making with my LuParis Doll Pattern. I was actually going to sell the pattern itself, and I still may someday, but the more I started playing around with it and adjusting it and making different dolls from it, the more special it felt. I've now listed 18 LuParis Dolls in my shop and I'm working on plenty more!

Each LuParis Doll takes about 5-7 hours of constant work to make, from cutting out the pattern to finishing touches. Everything, from the clothes to the hair, is completely hand stitched.

At first I only had one clothing pattern to go with my LuParis Dolls. But then I started making monster girls and wanted each of them to feel unique with their own outfits so now I have plenty of clothing patterns!

The monster girls include mermaids, witches, cyclops (cyclopses?), demon girls, aliens, vampires, banshees, and recently an Orc. I have plans for more monster girls including a zombie, a voodoo doll, and maybe even a fairy.

While my shop mostly has monster girls, there's a few normal girls in there as well. In fact I'm working on 7 dolls right now I call my Rainbow Girls who will each represent a color of the rainbow with their clothes and hair (plus pink, I always include pink with rainbow colors).

When I'm done with those they'll be in my shop as well.

Pricing my dolls was hard but I settled on $35, which I think is an acceptable price for doll collectors looking for hand stitched dolls. My dolls are 11 and 1/2 inches tall and completely made from wool blend and acrylic felts with yarn hair that may include cotton, acrylic, hemp, or wool.

I hope you enjoy my dolls and patterns and look for them at my Etsy shop: LuParisDolls
