Vintage Velvets Sophie Dolls

Isn't this a sweet batch? I'm getting all of the listings ready for the update, but I wanted to pop over and post a few photos of these sweet girls and their lovely silk velvet frocks.

Silk velvet is a trickster to sew with, but it was totally worth it. I want to keep all 4 of these for myself! Of course, I won't, and they'll be in the shop in just a little bit!

UPDATE: Hello my dears. That was a very crazy-fast update, as lots of the comments have said. Thank you! I hope no-one is too very down-hearted about it, because there will be more soft things in May! And who knows, maybe there will be something you like more or better? I'm already scheming up new designs and images! And there will be a new product for the shop tomorrow or Friday that I'm pretty flippin' excited about.

Thank you again, so much.

xoxo

That velvet is beautiful! I love your new dolls, I'm sure they will sell out in a flash :)

[annejulie]

[miss.michelle]

...Yay, I bet they're sooooooooooo soft!

Sweet rosie cheeks and all.

Adorable!!

[Marie]

I love the black and grey socks on the pink haired one! The red haired one has a sweet face.

[Carrie]

I can definitely understand your wanting to keep all of these gorgeous dolls for yourself! Sometimes it's so hard to let a creation go....

[Shannon]

They are gorgeous! I just love the colors.

[tiffany]

They are kind of Marie Antoinette Sophie dolls this time.. just a little bit.

[Kristi]

Cute, they look adorable like always. I like the velvet dresses.

[marjorie]

Oh, they are Dears,indeed!

And yes....silk velvet is a bear to sew...I did a 1880's bustle gown that had a silk velvet bodice insert and it was tough going! ;) All it wants to do is fray and fidget!

Have a lovely update! It looks like such magic! :)

[Nadia]

These dolls are way too cute. I waited patiently for your dolls since I've see you on the Martha Stewart show. I can't wait to finally own an Emily doll!

[Susan]

That update was awesome! I was in the thick of the all of the action and actually present and refreshing the very second it all came online!!! I think it was all gone in less than two minutes. The painting that I really wanted was slighlty out of my price range but the best part was that I actually could have bought it this time which made this update all the more exciting for me!!! Congrats Emily, it was all amazing :)

[meg]

:( no pins. (im crying now)

good job on the update, so many nice things.

will we be seeing prints of the new originals?

[annejulie]

eheheeee awesome update, 2 min later everything was sold! Congratulations :)

[liz elayne]

these really are beautiful. i love the velvet...and their gorgeous faces.

have to admit that i am sitting here with a wee frown on my face though as i tried to buy one but they were all gone before i could get through the shopping cart steps. i wanted to sit one of these adorable girls next to my sewing machine to keep me company as i sew...next time i hope.
congratulations on such a great update!

happy wednesday to you!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*cries many tears* I missed my creaping bunny by a nanosecond! OH MANNNNNN I was all set and ready to get it but BOOM it was GONE.

Will there be any more originals or creeping bunnies! and it is only 7 minutes after 2! DANG IT! *is beyond sad now*

Wondering if something is wrong with Etsy, or too much traffic on the site? I have been refreshing your shop on Etsy for the last 15 mins. but nothing yet...

[Cindy]

Hi Emily,

I am so sad I lost out on buying one of your Dolls! I had one in my cart and went to get another doll and then they both were gone! I was already signed in and I thought when it was in the cart that it was mine to buy. I was wrong.

[Jennifer]

Emily..the updates are so exciting! I was hoping for some pins, maybe next time.
Still fun to watch everything disappear in 60 seconds! crazy.

Wow... crazy update! Would have loved a doll, but by the time I refreshed, there were only two on the screen, and they were sold before I could check out :-( MAYBE... could an occasional softie be listed outside of the update? That would be a lucky find indeed while everyday browsing on etsy!

[sk]

I'm a little confused as to why nothing ever showed up, despite continual refreshing. Does anyone know? Too much demand? I'm on the west coast - does that distance/delay cause the problem for me? I mean nothing at all ever showed up, just blank, "0" showing up in the doll category. Anyone know? I am a frequent & long-time buyer on Etsy, so I'd really like to know what happened.

[michele]

Hi, Emily: thought it was time to add to "my collection" and I got her!!!

[hazel]

I love the velvet!

[alexis]

umm yeah, i refreshed starting at 2 and nothing new ever came up. sad now...

[Kris]

sk - I don't think Emily has enough time to put her update items into their proper categories. You're better off just refreshing the main shop page to see when the dolls appear. Don't worry - there are lots of us who missed out! :)

[Windy]

This was my 1st "update", and reading the above comments are exciting...I never saw anything, except that dolls were showing up on the sold page. Interesting how etsy works. Congrats! You're awesome!
