Ruby Ruffle Handmade Rag Doll – 18" Collector Cloth Doll with Story Card – Wool Hair, Custom Face, Vintage-Style Dress – Lidia’s Dolls Storytime Friends

Antique-Style Collector Doll – Ruby Ruffle – Handmade Cloth & Wool Rag Doll with Story Card – Lidia’s Dolls Storytime Friends

Meet Ruby Ruffle, a charming 18-inch handmade rag doll from the Storytime Friends collection by Lidia’s Dolls. With sparkling blue eyes, wavy wool hair, and a custom-stitched cotton dress in cheerful blue florals with golden yellow trim, Ruby Ruffle brings vintage character and handmade warmth to any doll collection.

Her unique face design is printed in high detail and lightly hand-enhanced for expression. Her hair is made of soft wool yarn, carefully sewn into place by hand. The dress and matching bonnet are stitched from reclaimed, sustainable cotton — no two dolls are ever exactly alike. This one-of-a-kind doll is perfect for adult collectors and lovers of heirloom-style cloth dolls.

Ruby’s attached story card reads:
"Ruby Ruffle dances in the meadows, making friends with butterflies and breeze."

How I Make My Dolls:

Each Storytime Friend begins with a quality posable cloth doll body. I remove the original head and replace it with a custom-designed head of my own, printed in-house and sewn by hand. I embroider or stitch in yarn hair, one strand at a time, and I handmake each outfit using cotton fabrics—often upcycled or vintage—to reduce waste. Many outfits are accented with lace, trim, or unique stitching. The result is a sustainable, collectible rag doll with heart, story, and soul.

Perfect For:

• Rag doll collectors
• Vintage and antique-style doll lovers
• Thoughtful gifts for adults or older children
• Heirloom keepsakes
• Display during holidays or as year-round joy

Note: This is a handmade doll, and small variations or charming imperfections (like softly wavy hair or dress folds) are part of its authentic appeal. Please view all photos for exact details.
