Franky Art Dolls ITH Design
$15.00
Inspired by Frankenstein. But much cuter! They make a great pair for Halloween decor.
Dolls and clothes are all stitched by your embroidery machine. Then you cut them out, turn and stuff. Hand stitching or fabric glue is needed to close the openings in body & head.
Wire armatures can be used inside the body to make these cloth characters fully poseable for home decor and you will get access to a free bonus video for that.
