Parasol Doll creations are hand crafted in the Pacific Northwest by a red-headed Blythe and crafting enthusiast. Parasol Doll has been influenced by kittens with mittens, grim fairy-tales, socialist reformation policies, cogs & sprockets, procrastination, an alpaca named Nancy Drew, and a strong belief in unicorns.

I have been blessed with a myriad of dolly inspirations and am grateful for each and everyone one. Most notable are:
  • Christina of JamFancy who's whimsical, inimitable style continues to delight and for her very generous free pattern archives which enabled my initial dolly sewing impulses.
  • Marla, my original dolly co-conspirator and general partner in crime! It would never have been as much fun with out her.
  • The proprietress of House of Pinku, J. Valentine, whose overwhelming generosity of wisdom and encouragement has made my dolly world a happier, pinker place.
  • The one, the only, Austin Darling who is fearless to the core and happily schemes grand dolly plans with me!
I heart the people involved with the beauty and sharing that makes the Blythe community worth the investment of time, energy and creativity!

Parasol Doll is a combination of original designs and altered vintage Skipper, JamFancy, and Dolly Coordinate Recipe patterns. I extend my deepest gratitude for these resources!
