Update:
After a barrage of complaints, federal regulators shifted gears Thursday and said they would no longer require that used children's clothing, toys and other items sold at secondhand stores be tested for lead.
While this is good news for resale stores and such, people who make handmade children's items are still under the strain of having to comply with testing laws.

Well...I would assume if you could prove your materials were lead free you're probably pretty safe.
Better yet, put them on a doll and call 'em second-hand!
True - the Boy pointed out that we'll probably suddenly see a bunch of toys and clothes for "Lifesized collectible dolls."
The problem with proving your materials are safe is that they expect you to prove by having them tested, and since the law doesn't apply to the components--just he finished product--I doubt many materials will come pre-tested. Bleh.
