Cabbage Patch knits!

[dahlish]

I've been thinking about making some for my shop, but I know lots of people (in general) do doll clothes...what do you think?

Cute didn't know those things were still around LOL
Stumbled, plurked, facebooked, and scheduled tweet!

thanks!    Yeah, I remember having a few when I was little and was so excited to see a 'normal' doll for Kara instead of the crazy ones they have now

I'm so glad to know that all dolls haven't turned into teen hookers!  Looks wonderful

No kidding!  Just going through Toys R Us I was really thrown for a loop at how many gross dolls there are for sale for little girls!  I mean seriously, no kid of mine needs to be playing with Emo half-naked vamped up dolls.

Personally, I think the cabbage patch clothes and dolls are cute. I don't know if they are very popular though. Seems that American Girl is the size/doll to have which is okay. That being said, I would try some and see what kind of views you get.

The dolls now are horrible! I can't even imagine buying one and giving it to any kid.

Thanks Teresa!  Yeah I googled Cabbage Patch clothes and it didn't come up with a whole lot, but I'm sure it's mostly because they aren't very popular anymore.  Sad!     But yeah, I knit another one up to see how it goes, I just have to photograph it and post and we'll see what happens!    Or if nothing else I can make the sizes bigger so they fit small children

I have patterns for Cabbage Patch clothes from when my  kids were little. I guess they would qualify for the "vintage" tag now.

lol; I think the Cabbage Patch dolls I had way back when would be 'vintage' too!

Love that pink one!

I think I still have my cabbage patch somewhere.  Her name was Debbie Meredith.  My sis might have hers too, actually.

[dahlish]

hehe I love the adoption certificates they still give with them!  I'm pretty sure this one's name is Irene...!

These are darling, dahlish!  I sold two dolls at the Arts Festival a couple of weeks ago - one going to a child, and the other bought for an adult.  Both customers mirrored the thoughts expressed here...  that what's commercially available is not acceptable.

I love your Cabbage Patch doll clothes. I still love the Cabbage Patch dolls. My daughter (10) never thought much of the dolls. She snickered when I told her my grandmother waited in line for hours to buy me a Cabbage Patch doll when I was her age.

I'm sure there is a market for the clothes, especially for women my age who still have their original dolls.

I think it might be worth it to post a few and see what happens. 
The dolls that are available today are so sad.   You would almost think some alien designed the dolls.  What is so hard about making a baby doll look more life like?   I had this beautiful bride doll that I managed to keep until I was around 36 yrs old and then I'm not sure what happened to it - actually I think my step mother snagged it when it was up in the attic for a while between moves. Now that's sad!

Thanks I think I will!  I know that I have a sweater that's still on needles in the closet because I got sidetracked
