Handmade Cloth Topsy Turvy Dolls


White and Mammy Topsy Turvy Doll
Two dolls in one! Display a white prim Annie one day, and a black prim Annie the next! These dolls have been called topsy turvy, upside down dolls, or awake asleep dolls.

This doll is made of muslin and is 19" tall. Black doll is hand dyed a beautiful reddish honey brown. Hand painted face, including eyes, noses and smiles. I named them “Vivian” and “Gramcracker”. My great grandma’s name was Vivian and I always called her “Granny Gramcrackers”. These sweet ladies are available at my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/120985797/white-and-mammy-topsy-turvy-doll"><b>Esty Shop</b></a>.



This doll was created using a pattern by Cat And the Fiddle Designs.

I may create a few dolls that are of the awake/asleep style suited just for little ones to love and cuddle.
