Stephanie Dean
Owner & Chief Doll Maker
Hello there! Welcome to StepStitches.
​
I am a retired elementary school teacher and an avid dollmaker. I started StepStitches in 2017, combining my passion for sewing, my lifelong love of dolls, and my career of helping young children.
​​
Cinnamon Annie® is a handmade Raggedy Ann style doll with a modern twist.
She wears beautifully colored dresses that are fashioned to appeal to today’s modern child. She is a keepsake doll that can either be played with, used for decoration or can be collected.
I cut, sew and stuff each Raggedy Ann and Andy Doll in my sewing studio, using high quality materials and advanced sewing skills to achieve an attractive, durable and CPSC certified safe product, for play or as décor.
​
​I find inspiration from many places, including my memories of growing up, the children who love my dolls, and the beautiful fabrics that I use to make my dolls.

I want each customer to feel the love sewn into each soft and huggable doll.
The adults who purchase the dolls feel a sense of nostalgia and happiness in being able to share a precious part of their childhood with younger generations. It’s the same way that I feel as I create the dolls and I am very happy to pay it forward.
Be Blessed,
​Stephanie
