Special project - child lovie repair

6/3/2019

 
WCKG recently received a request from a parent who need help in repairing a child's well-loved toy.  

​If you can help, please email 
WCKG and we will connect you with the parent.
​I was referred to you in hopes of connecting with someone who could help with a special repair for a long-time lovie belonging to my nine-year-old.  She has had it since her first birthday and it is very loved and literally hanging on by a few threads!

I have this idea of removing the remaining filling of the original and rehoming it inside of a duplicate, then refilling and stitching back up with the name (“Green Baby”) knit into the “scar” post-op.  OR slightly more complicated, I assume, would be do do the same thing, but use the original head and the donor doll body.

In either case, this is well beyond my abilities and I would be thrilled to compensate for the project directly or via a donation to your group.

The donor doll is in storage so I am not able to send a picture of it or the original, the smaller 12” pictured below is the same, just a different color.  

Lastly, I would not be looking for a perfect restoration, that would not be realistic. I’m simply trying to preserve the spirit of a special childhood toy for a few more years of snuggling with a sweet and sentimental child.

Many thanks in advance for any help or guidance!
