About

My skills at dressing Bleuette are a culmination of textile endeavors that began at the tender age of five years old when my mother taught me how to embroider. I continued to explore fiber art through sewing, dyeing, weaving and felting until I was reintroduced to dolls and the amazing possibilities of dressing them.

Like so many other Bleuette devotees, she has shown me a way to express my interest in history, fine craftsmanship, haute couture and the wonderful frou-frou of little girls.
