Handmade Rag Doll: Jemima, Striped Legs

Meet Jemima! Jemima is made from calico (the traditional fabric for making rag dolls) and striped cotton, with non-removable, black, felt boots incorporated into her legs. Her face has been hand embroidered and her hair has been created from thick, brown wool and styled into a ponytail. She is 52cm (approx. 20 and-a-half inches) tall.

We take great care when making the rag dolls to ensure that they will give years of play and companionship and are careful to include no small items. Jemima will have a ribbon in her hair which is hand-stitched on to provide extra security. Our dolls are UKCA marked and are made from OEKO-TEX Standard 100 tested calico.

Jemima arrives in her cotton, laced-trimmed pants (for modesty!) and you could either make clothes for her yourself using our sewing pattern or buy some from The Jemima Company’s extensive collections.

If you would like any part of this doll customised, please get in touch with us and we will be delighted to try to help out. 

Should Jemima become dirty, she can be sponge cleaned, or if she gets very messy, she can be put into a tied pillowcase and machine-washed on a low temperature. The calico has been pre-washed so shouldn’t cause any problems when washing. Jemima’s pants can also be machine-washed. Dry Jemima flat.
