Ms. Stephanie, please share with my readers a little about
yourself.
I’m a Georgia native,
wife, and mom to 2 college students. I am a Sunday School teacher. I taught elementary
school for 16 years and I am a licensed social worker. And I love to sew!
**Please tell about
your business StepStitches.
Cinnamon Annie Dolls
by StepStitches is a vintage style doll with a modern twist. Cinnamon Annie is
a Raggedy Ann style doll updated for today’s generation. I also wrote a
children’s book about her and make a limited-edition Cinnamon Annie Doll
Ornament, which only available during the holiday season. StepStitches is ran
completely out of my home where I make each doll.
**How did you start
this amazing talent?
Doll making grew out
of my sewing hobby/obsession. I started sewing
Raggedy Ann style dolls for my own personal enjoyment in 2016. I named them Cinnamon Annie. I loved my dolls, but I couldn’t imagine that
anyone else would be interested in such a vintage style doll. Just for fun I
shared some of my dolls on Instagram and Facebook. I was so surprised when my friends
and followers started asking to purchase their own Cinnamon Annie Dolls. But I
was so excited to have an excuse to make more dolls. As of now, I have made and
sold over 400 dolls online and in person.
** I absolutely love
your dolls. What do you want each customer to feel once they have opened their
package?
I want each customer
to feel delight as they open the package. Their smiling faces make me so happy
and I hope customers feel the same way. I want customers to also feel happy
about the level of customer service I provide and the quality craftsmanship of
my products.
** Are the dolls all
different?
Each doll is handmade
by me. They are available in 3 different skin tones and 3 sizes. You have the
option to personalize the doll’s dress with the recipient’s name. I have a
variety of dresses available and I am open to custom order dolls.
** What inspires you
with each doll?
I am inspired by the
responses I receive; the letters and emails of happy customers keep me going. Customers
have let me know that the dolls are well loved by the recipients. I am also
inspired because of my love of the craft of sewing.
** I think these
beautiful creations would make amazing gifts. How may they be purchased?
Cinnamon Annie Dolls
can be purchased through my website www.stepstitches.com. Or you can contact me at
stepstitches@gmail.com
** The holidays will
be here soon, how early do customers need to put in their orders?
I usually close out
holiday orders the first week of December so that I am able to get each order
out on time.
