5 Rating 13 Reviews
Kit, as always arrived very rapidly. As usual 2 things missing my time and sewing machine, EVERYTHING else, including very clear instructions in the beautifully presented pack. This is the 4th of the rag dolls I've made,the first being in the 1980s. They wash well and all have survived much love frome their playmates. Thank you for a fantastic rag doll.

I was delighted to see Polly back again and made it for my granddaughter. In the 80s I'd made two Kitties and two Kits for my 2 sons and 2 daughters. They played with them a lot and swapped their clothes around frequently. I copied the Kit dungarees for the Kitties and kept the pattern, so made more for Polly this year, as well as a shiny mermaid tail. I'm sure she'll be a success!

You cannot believe my excitement that you are still doing these dolls...my mum made me the whole set when I was a child and I just loved them..but... as an adult I was teased for still having my dolls by a not very nice ex boyf so I did an awful thing and threw them out. Now many years later and one ex boyf gone I am just so happy to start getting these back in my life and even making them myself. Never again will I be made to feel daft for having dolls. I will feel proud. Cannot wait to start making Polly over the Christmas holidays and then buying Kit and Kitty !!! Thank you so much for letting me get my childhood loves back again !!

So pleased to see these dolls back in stock. I made two of them for my daughter in the mid- eighties, but they were given away when she got older. I love their characters and the design of their clothes. Almost everything you need is in the kit, and the stuffing is available if you need it.

I am no seamstress but the instructions are simple and easy to follow and I cannot believe how amazing the doll looks . Very impressed.

I made one of the dolly selection for my daughter in 1980. Since then I have made one each for my granddaughters (all slightly different) and they love them! The only tricky part is the neck of each as it’s very fiddly but with a bit of patience they come together ok.
