For
People commissioning intimate, handmade keepsakes
Worth noticing
Each commission starts with shared photos and details, then becomes a one-of-one cotton doll with tight stitches and custom clothing.

Field notes

The commission process is built around reference material: visitors send photographs and small identifying details, which Maria translates into yarn, clothing, hair, and facial expression. The page names a 2.5 mm hook, cotton yarn, and days of stitching, while a separate sewn-toy range combines fabrics including florals, waves, stripes, tweed, and corduroy. No pricing or turnaround information is visible, and inquiries move through Instagram.
