One of the first dolls Tara Dalessi ever made is modeled after her daughter and clothed in some of the first things Dalessi ever sewed when she was a child.

Manic Mermaid Tara Dalessi is a Kauai-raised seamstress, baker, activist and all-around nature lover who has started sewing Waldorf-style dolls. She picked up the technique in Washington. The dolls are made using European sewing techniques and are meant to spark creativity in children.
