Amish Couple




These dolls were created using Jean Greenhowes "Little Dumplins men and women" patterns.
All you need is a little imagination and color changes.
Her cap is made out of the " Mascot" collection from the Nurse doll.

The dolls do not have faces due to the Amish peoples belief.........
 Amish people do not believe in using mirrors or photographs and the faceless dolls represent this belief.
