Sweetie Dots 2024 - Valentine Clown Yo Yo Collectible Handcrafted Fabric Doll

"Sweetie Dots"

This sweet Valentine guy is decked out in cute red and pink dots for the holiday. His complimentary print is a bold solid red. He has a matching red hat with a single hand painted white heart.

Sweetie Dots was created using 34 yo yos (gathered fabric rounds) from quilting fabric for his arms and legs. His body and ruffled collar are also made from the same quilting fabric as well as the hand made tag on his rear. Sweetie's head is a yo yo made from soft flannel with a hand drawn face. His hair is made from soft red and white yarn. New eco-friendly (100% PLA fiber-corn), hypoallergenic stuffing was used for his head, body, hands, and feet. He measures approximately 13.5" long lying down and about 11" tall when sitting. Sweetie Dots can sit on his own when he finds his balance.

Each yo yo doll will include a card with his/her name, date of completion and a poem I wrote to pay tribute to all of those yo yos of yesteryear.

Yo yo clowns/dolls have been around for a long time...you may remember Jingling Jack from the 1950s, and over the years, I have received numerous requests to recreate the cute clown. I apologize for those who have waited so long (years!) for me to come up with my own take of this classic doll. I have tried and discarded many ideas, but I finally settled on a design. :) I didn't want to make just clowns, so I will be posting a little variety of what I am calling "yesterday's yo yo dolls". Enjoy and if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them. Robin

**I am happy to change the name of a doll if you prefer something different. Include a message at checkout and I will change the 2024 name card accordingly.
