About the Creative Designer

Hi, my name is Shirley Rash. I would like to welcome you to my site and invite you to enjoy your visit with me as you browse through my wide range of products.

I have always loved dolls and at an early age had the ability to sew and draft patterns.
Shirley’s Creative Designs was created by accident! One day I went to a Doll Show and met a lady who wanted doll clothes made for her porcelain dolls. I had no idea what to charge her, so I called up a local porcelain doll studio and the owner didn’t help with pricing, but said she needed clothes for her customer’s dolls!

In the summer of 1993, Shirley’s Creative Designs was founded. Later on, I added Patterns, created Cloth Dolls, Soft Toys & Animals, Doll Purses & a Pajama Bag and African Cloth Dolls.

Located in Carson City, Nevada, my goal is to create beautiful one of a kind Dolls, Soft Toys & Animals, Doll Clothes, Doll Purses, African Dolls and anything else my customers can dream up made of cloth while providing my customers with the best possible online shopping experience. I hope that you discover something that you love and I invite you to return often to check out any new items. Thank you for browsing my new site that my daughter, Jennifer and I just created in September 2009.

More Information

I do not make plastic, vinyl or porcelain dolls…all of my items are made from cloth. I design and draft the patterns for all of my items and then sew them. I carry all types of Cloth Dolls, African Dolls, Doll Clothes, Soft Toys, Soft Toys & Animals, Doll Purses, and even a Doll Pajama Bag. I have also designed original Patterns for some of my dolls and doll clothes with easy to understand instructions.

If you order something exactly the way it is on the site, you will find that since each doll and outfit is unique, the fabrics and trims will vary in design and color.

I take retail, wholesale and custom orders. I can create one unique item or as many of each item as you need. If you have an idea for an item, I can make a prototype for you according to your design specifications or if you have an idea, but don’t know how to go about designing it, I can create the design and then manufacture your product for you.

I have a domestic embroidery machine that is capable of making professional looking faces on any of the dolls shown on this site. If you choose, I can embroider the faces on any of our 10 cloth character dolls or on any of our African dolls except for the Lady African Dolls. I can also do cute little custom embroidery designs on doll clothes or on a stuffed animal's chest. We will even do custom faces for your doll ideas or custom embroidery for your other cloth products.
