Each doll with this 'hispanic look' fabric came from a quilt shop and costs $4.50 per yardage required for each doll body. The nightgown, I was able to make from an old white sheet I had not bothered to throw out yet. The trim was some a sister in law bought me years ago for my birthday, and the dress material was from scraps a quilter friend gave me ...just for the dolls. Probably more info than you wanted to know, but at least this doll's expenses weren't as much as they could be. I thought of finding clothing at the thrift store and using it as well. I count my blessings that I am able to make these dolls. Thanks for your kind reply above. I am looking for a peach color and a darker skin tone for african american doll bodies, although when I asked the American Cancer Society office manager (for our small ACS, that accepts my dolls,) if she needed different skin colors and she told me the little kids don't seem to care what color the skin tone is. I'm thinking they may have good hearts despite their cancer situations.

Also, I would like to send you a check for the fabric for one of these adorable dolls. It would be so little to help you with so much that you are doing for these children.
If you would like this trims and such...please PM me and let me know where I should send them.
God watches over you for helping his children.....

You are an inspiration. The children receiving your beautiful dolls will cherish them, love them and keep them in their care. Certainly as the children are blessed with your gifts, you are blessed as well.

These dolls are great. I love the "pay forward" concept. I think I will give some thought into making a few for the Children's Hospital in Dallas were my daughter's maid of honor is a doctor. God bless you in all you do. :)
