CHURCH DOLLS
Church dolls were made in the 19th
century by mothers folding and tying
their hankies into small dolls to
entertain restless little girls in
church. If dropped, the sweet, soft
dolls would make no sound and not
disturb a single prayer!
Everlastings Church Dolls are based
on the original, historic fold for
church dolls unlike most newly produced
church dolls today. Each is hand made
from vintage hankies and accented
with a vintage button on the skirt
and tiny buttons at the back of the
bodice. Note the adorable pantalooned
legs and shoes that set our Church
Dolls apart from any you may have
seen! Ties on the dolls are made with
fine coordinated ribbons, those around
the waist trailing in the back as
long sashes. All bows are secured
with hand embroidered French knots
in contrasting embroidery threads.
Doll sizes vary slightly but are approximately
12 inches long. Each doll includes
a beautiful vellum overlay tag with
the history of church dolls.
As a baby gift, christening gift,
or special occasion gift for any little
girl, these are truly heirloom keepsakes.
For a doll collector or anyone who
loves all things vintage an Everlastings

Each doll is one of a kind!

hankie skirts can also be special
