Susan Sirkis is the author of over two-dozen
Wish Booklets. Each booklet covers subject
matter and patterns from women's fashions
of 1750 to children's fashions of the 1920s.
f you are a member of The United Federation of Doll Clubs (UFDC), you know that
Susan Sirkis served as our organization's President from 1993 to 1995. If you attend
convention and frequent the sales room - and who doesn't frequent the Sales Room -
you know that the Ralph Griffith Award is given by our dealers to their compatriot who has given
unselfishly to UFDC. Susan is a two-time honoree, once recognized in 2006 and again in 2014.
If you love to sew for your dolls, you must know that Susan is the author and publisher of
the world-renowned fashion history and pattern series, The Wish Booklets. If you don't know that
in 1998 Susan was honored with UFDC's highest honor, The Award for Meritorious Service, then
you should! What this author knows is that Susan Sirkis is one of her favorite paper doll artists.
The UFDC Convention Salesroom in Atlanta is when and where I acquired my first Susan
Sirkis paper dolls. The convention theme was "Victoria" and we were inundated by "Her
Majesty." It was the paper doll set Queen Victoria's Dolls that first caught my eye, and I came
home with the set about Victoria herself., who spent most of her time with her mother at
England's Kensington Palace. She had a rather lonely childhood. Although, one of her happiest
times was when she was about thirteen years old. She and her governess collected and dressed
132 wooden dolls. The dolls featured thirteen of the costumes they created themselves. The
Queen Victoria Set featured costumes from portraits of her from the happiest period of her long
life, from the time of her coronation until she lost Prince Albert, the love of her life.
