Such great fabrics.<br />I agree with you on the stuffing problem. <br />No one here sells natural stuffing either.<br />For little projects I sometimes use organic cotton balls from the drug store for stuffing pins and things...<br />xoxo always enjoy my visits!Mary Stanley https://www.blogger.com/profile/16317507221182466529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456318398282222750.post-69719607727906602162011-11-16T05:33:06.460-08:002011-11-16T05:33:06.460-08:00Hi Deb,

Just a bit more info on the batting for you...the bamboo might not be any better environmentally than the poly.

I, too, hate that polyfill stuff...but sometimes it's got its place, I guess.<br /><br />It happened again -- the same-wavelength-thing -- I got out a doll I made a while back and studied her this morning -- before I read your post! She's never been dressed either. Decided she's an eco doll (made from socks) so she needs a recycled outfit, too. Fun to think about! xoPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456318398282222750.post-36097892380373343222011-11-14T13:47:49.757-08:002011-11-14T13:47:49.757-08:00Cute!!
