October 2024

We have had a tough week or so here in western North Carolina! Helene really dumped just a ton of rain onto the Asheville area! I live 2 1/2 hours southwest of the worst hit area. We all lost cell service (and landlines for those who still have them) and the hard hit area around Asheville had a hard time getting help because of washed out roads, flooded roads and so many trees down. Please keep them in your positive thoughts as they will be recovering from this for many months! Some areas will never be the same! Very sad!

These 'Witches with a Heart' will be available ONLY here on the website. These 4 are the only Witches I will do this year!

So - get to the website to check them out if you are interested!

WORKSHOPS

If you are considering a class but not sure if it's right for you,

please reach out with a contact here or directly to my email CharlieClothDolls@gmail.com

Basically you need to know how to operate your sewing machine, do a few hand stitches and be able to stuff body parts.

All classes are open to beginning as well as intermediate dollmakers.

In case you didn't know - classes require a minimum to run .

The decision is made 1 - 2 weeks before.

So, if everyone waits until the last minute to sign up, it is possible that the class will not be there!

Workshop and Demonstration Schedule 

Here you will find a schedule of upcoming workshop and Demonstration dates.

The Demonstrations are a chance to stop in, watch and ask questions
