Ornamental dolly - made to order
***Please note this is a made to order item only! Current delivery estimate is 2-3 weeks including time in the post. Images are a guide only.***
I’ve called this one the ‘ornamental’ dolly flower because of its busy, patchwork beauty. Also - although I always do my best to sew well and reinforce, there are so many pieces and seams, it may not hold up perfectly to regular play (as a toy).
In general, the dolly flower is a mid-sized soft flower - made to lie around on a bed, or hang on a door handle, or flop over the back of a chair. It is made from unique fabrics and stuffed with a combination of poly fill and its own textile scraps and threads, making it a zero waste piece. A central hand-sewn seam is visible on the back of the flower (not that it matters which way you face it). There is a tiny discreet loop behind its top petal, through which a piece of hanging ribbon or twine can be threaded (or removed if its not being used).
Approx. 50cm tall, 40cm wide with petals outstretched.
Each ornamental dolly is a one-off, made from a ‘crazy’ mix of Japanese remnant fabrics and cottage cottons. I have many saved scraps, some really quite small but just so sweet that I haven’t been able to part with them. Piecing them together takes hours, hence the higher price (compared to the simpler dolly flowers). Once you’ve placed your order, I will be in touch to discuss colouring/style. You can also email Leah - milly.s.temp@gmail.com …
To clean, a cool/lukewarm spot wash is best. A full immersion wash is really to be avoided. If necessary, do it quickly in strictly COLD water
Made in Naarm/Melbourne for Milly Arcana.
