"Stockings Were Hung" Sophie Doll

Robert Tonner Doll Company issued this 10" Ann Estelle friend, Sophie,  "The Stockings Were Hung" in 2006.

This is her original dress by Robert Tonner, a Mary Englebreit design.  The green velvet dress has red and white trim. The shoes have felt flowers that match the flower on the collar. She has a felt decorated stocking with "candy cane" in it. I made a bead bracelet to match.

This is another Mary Englebreit design dress manufactured by Robert Tonner, a cute cherries design for the skirt and red gingham for the bodice, with lace edging at the hem, and a white collar with little cherries for trim.

For this blue cotton dress, I used embroidered ribbon trim and edged the cuffs and neckline by hand with embroidery thread. She has a matching hair band and a tiny flower basket to carry.

Here is Sophie in her pajamas with her teddy bear. I selected a tiny pink and green floral print for the top and white cotton for the long pants, and trimmed them with satin roses and ribbon. I also made some matching slippers.

I made the playsuit from a tiny pique fabric and used red and blue tiny rickrack for the trim.

I bought this sweater, then cut a placket in the back for a snap closure. Worn with the white playsuit, it makes a patriotic outfit, especially nice on the Fourth of July! She has cute red canvas shoes to wear with it.

Another larger doll had an Indian outfit, which I took apart and remade for Sophie. Using the extra fabric, I made a headband and moccasins and trimmed them in tiny beads to match the Indian dress. Fun for "dress-up" play dates for Sophie!

This doll has a wooden trunk lined in pretty yellow print paper.  A plastic box holds her shoes.
