Anime Crafter doll holder

This doll is designed in memory of my doll which I loved dearly, I had a vintage doll with dark brown hair, slender limbs and long arms. Anime is recreated to express my love for crafting.

Anime Crafter is a unique caddy for all your crafting bits and bobs!, sewing supplies like hooks, pins, scissors, needles, measuring tape stitch markers and lots more.

She would also make a beautiful door stop or a jewellery holder.

You’ll love having this adorable crafter crochet doll and she is cuter than cute and doubles as a pin cushion.
