FIRST BABIES

Here are two Sasha babies from my first family. After adopting dozens of Sashas and Gregors in the early 1970s I finally decided to adopt two of the babies. Frankly, I was not impressed with any of the clothing available at the time and there were not any similar size dolls to borrow from so their wardrobes were limited to what I could make or what the "dollsandreams" sewing ladies created. However, I was able to find toys for them and over the years their toy chest has overflowed with small dolls and bears from the various countries I visited.
These days more designers make outfits for the Sasha babies so they are easier to shop for and I have made several outfits for them myself.
