Zombie Babies...darling dolls from repurposed gloves.
One of the all-time bestselling items in our shop isn't really a monster. Well, kind of. No, not really. Um, in a way. Okay, YOU decide!
Each Zombie Baby Doll or HooDooYoo Love "cousin" is hand-stitched with love, using when was once a lowly glove. You know...the stretchy knit kind you tend to lose?
We start by machine-sewing the thumb, and then gently removing that offending appendage (which later finds a new life as a "Thumbkin"). This is the ONLY part of the construction that uses a machine...that way, the stitches can be so even and close together that the seam won't "pop" on the side of the head (which is particularly important if you choose to use your new dollie to take out your aggressions!). Once that's done, the rest is all done painstaking stitch by painstaking stitch BY HAND! Did we mention we make these BY HAND? Yes, really.
Each dollie is stitched, shaped, and decorated with heavy-duty quilting thread, embroidery floss, yarn hair, etc.
Currently, we offer two styles:
"Zombie Babies" (those are the little girls wearing ruffled dresses with felt applique accents)or
"HooDooYoo Love" Dolls (stripey little primitive dolls with their hearts on their chests.)
Soon, we're hoping to add "Fuzzy Buddies"- a furrier MONSTER version of these precious dollies!
Be sure to check out the "Zombie Babies" section of our Etsy Shop for all current styles available!
