// 00 The cloth doll, rebuilt
Soft objects, engineered by hand.
OK BOY is a handcraft studio building heirloom cloth dolls — each one cut, stitched and finished to a spec, then signed by the maker who made it.
// 01 What the studio does
Not toys off a line.
Characters with a build sheet.
We treat a soft doll the way a small workshop treats any object worth keeping — measured patterns, named materials, a finish you can inspect, and a maker accountable for it.
/ 02
Studio collections
Limited runs of original characters, designed in-house and released in small numbered editions. Held to the same build standard as a commission.
/ 03
Brand & gift work
Soft mascots and keepsake editions for studios, shops and family milestones — made to a repeatable spec so a second run matches the first.

// 02 The studio standard
Every doll is a small machine of soft parts.
A finished OK BOY doll hides a lot of decisions: which way the grain runs, how the seam allowance is graded so an arm sits right, the exact weight of fill that lets it hold a pose without going stiff. None of it shows. All of it lasts.
We log each build — pattern revision, fabric lot, the maker's initials — on a card that travels with the doll. If it ever needs mending, we know precisely how it was made.

// 03 The build, in four moves
From a flat pattern
to a character that holds.
01
Pattern & cut
A doll begins as drafted pieces on paper, graded to the size you want, then hand-cut from washed wool felt and organic cotton so the grain falls correctly on every limb.

02
Single-needle stitch
Seams are sewn slowly on a single-needle machine and locked by hand at the stress points — neck, shoulders, hips — where a loved doll fails first.
Graded seamsLocked corners
03
Fill & form
Filled by weight, not by eye, with carded wool that lets the doll sit, slump and be hugged without going hard. The face is set last, by hand, until the character arrives.

Sign & log
Each doll is numbered, signed under a hem, and logged with its build card. That record is what makes a lifetime of free mending possible.

What people keep
telling us.
Our daughter named hers on the drive home and hasn't put it down since. You can feel that someone actually made it — the weight is right, the face is right.
Commission · Portland
We needed a soft mascot that matched our brand colors exactly and could be reordered later. OK BOY treated it like a real product — a spec, a sample, a second run that matched.
