Hi!
My name is Theresa. I love to create beautiful things with my hands.
I started to sew a few years ago after finding some beautiful quilting fabric in a shop. I studied quilting magazines and youtube videos and finally started to make a few quilts.
I then went on to making clothes, stuffies and handbags (Samiramina Multicolor, www.samu.com.au is my page for these things) and finally last year I became aware again of the dollmaking tradition.
I grew up with handmade dolls my mum made for me and my brother and I got so excited about trying to make a doll myself. I sourced some supplies and made a few sweethearts for my daughter and myself (hubby has one now too :)). And I just can't stop now :)
I also make all the clothes for the dolls myself.
The material for the doll skin I import from Europe, the fabrics are from the USA, Europe and Australia and the wool is genuine Australian wool.
