Sasha Doll Style

In this group of Sashas are: Sasha (1968 Frido fringe girl); Katie (late 60's Kilt girl); Esther (my brunette version Gotz toddler).


Sasha is wearing an elegant outfit. Her party dress is made using a fine floral cotton fabric and features a tiered skirt.

I thought the longer style shaped jacket looked elegant with the belt.

She is wearing matching pants and little white socks with navy leather boneka shoes.


Beside Sasha is my little brunette Esther. When I bought her her hair had already been coloured but in night light it looked salmon pink instead of ginger so I took the plunge and coloured her hair again.

Her smock is made using the same lovely bamboo sock yarn as Sasha's jacket. It is a new toddler outfit and the smock features a pretty textural bramble pattern and little turned up cuffs.

Her trousers are made using the same floral fabric as the dress sasha is wearing.

I completed the outfit with little shetland wool lace weight bootees tied with I-cord made from the same wool as her smock.

Sasha's knitted jacket is made using a beautiful bamboo sock yarn which has a fabulous sheen and drape when knitted with a lovely silky feel.

The colour of this outfit draws out the blue tones in her eyes.
I love this outfit on Katie.

The drop waist dress has a gathered skirt, v-neck and the short sleeves have a little pleat at the cuff. I matched the buttons to the beautiful green colour of the leaves. The buttons took a while to find but are really gorgeous.

The blue lace weight shetland wool cardigan has a v-neck style that fits perfectly beneath the collar of her dress. The blue is exactly the same colour as the blue flower on her floral dress and her blue shoes.

Her socks were knit using natural white lace weight shetland wool with a fine blue stripe.

As usual her pants match her dress fabric.

The models in this group are: Michael (Gotz boy scout); Bethany (a one of a kind Kelly Wenarsky repaint); Elke (Gotz toddler sister to Anna and Annette).


I love these two outfits photographed together. Michael and Elke look so cute together.

Michael's sweater and hat are knitted using a lovely wool/cotton sock yarn. It has a lovely tweedy fleck in it.

His trousers are made from a lovely mid-blue denim and are straight leg with pockets. He has white socks and dollfie track shoes with denim blue stripes on the side.

The models in this group are:
Matthew (early 1968 Frido Gregor)
Ruth (early 70's Trendon Sasha)
Sophie (Gotz blonde)
and Esther (Gotz blonde toddler).

Ruth is modelling another of my new creations for this collection.

She is wearing a very fine fairisle sweater hand knitted using shetland lace weight wool. The colours are beautiful, a combination of the natural shetland sheep shades of wool with the addition of blue and green. An exquisite sweater.

I thought the very dark chocolate finewale corduroy looked lovely with the sweater picking up the dark brown shade of wool.

Her socks are knit using lace weight shetland wool in the light grey colour with an accent of dark brown. She is wearing the lovely dollfie t-bar sandals.

I used one of the lovely natural shetland sheep wool colours for her hat and scarf.

I saw a beautiful cable scarf in Belfast when I was wandering around the shops window shopping and thought it would be perfect for this outfit. I liked the idea of one strong cable running along the centre of the scarf. The hat also has cabling with a garter stitch edge. I thought it would be fun to make the pompom using lots of the colours used to knit the fairisle sweater.

This is a fabulous outfit and looks wonderful on Ruth who has very dark puddle eyes and dates from the early 70's.

Mathew is wearing a lovely boys outfit.

He has a cute sweater and beanie hat knit using a tweed self striping sock wool. The colours really suit his dark colouring.

The trousers were made using a mid-tone denim, are a straight leg style with pockets.

He has white socks and dollfie track shoes with denim blue stripes on the sides.

His scarf was knitted using the dark brown tweed sock wool. I was really tempted to put a dark brown pompom on the hat but then, I decided that it was more boyish left as a little plain beanie shape.

Mathew is a gregor from 1968 and has the loveliest dark brown eyes with loads of hand finishing.

Esther is wearing another new style outfit. She has a pair of sage green dungarees with a contrast cotton leaf print fabric as an edge on the trouser and for the pocket on the front of the dungarees and the lining on the inside of the dungarees.

She has finely knitted boots which were inspired by Elizabeth Zimmerman's Lapland boots.

Her hooded jacket was knitted using the same lovely space dyed sock yarn. The jacket has a cable and double moss stitch pattern on the front, back and sleeves. It has cute little pockets and a double moss stitch hood. The textured buttons match the colour of the corduroy used for the dungarees.

The blonde and blue eyed Esther (Gotz toddler) looks really cute in this lovely cosy outfit.

Finally, I have Sophie wearing a lovely warm outfit for the cool Autumn days.

She is wearing a hat, sweater and bag all made using the same self striping sock wool. Although the stripes are not knit as they would have come on the ball. I changed them to suit the style of the outfit which allowed me to use the wool in a fairisle pattern on the bag.

Her skirt was made using a lovely mink coloured finewale corduroy which tones beautifully with the knitwear.

After a lot of searching, I finally, found a pair of childrens tights in the same colour as the skirt from which I was able to make her tights. Her shoes are commercially made brown loafers from Antina's Doll Supply.
Sophie came to me with enhanced eyes but after a while, I decided I would like to try repainting them myself, so I carefully took off the original enhancement and painted her eyes using very fine brushes and acrylic paint. I love they way they turned out. I adore the natural looking style of eye painting on the early Sasha dolls and some of the one of a kind repaint dolls.
