Doll won 1st place in one of our doll contests.
Best friends dolls hand made
by 2 best friends on their last day of summer sewing camp
Amanda and her "Mermaid"
doll, hand made during summer sewing camps.
It is hard to see the great
fairy that Catherine made in this picture. But it was awesome... She
chose colors of purples and greens, (like an outdoor fairy), and trimmed
it in ivy....Great imagination and creativity Catherine!!!!
Early cloth doll
bodies were homemade with scraps of fabric. Nothing was thrown out
or wasted back then. Most were constructed with a front and a back
including legs. The arms were attached separately. One piece body dolls
were produced commercially in the early 1800's in many European countries.
By 1840 muslin bodies were being made that could sit. Click here for more
history of the muslin doll.
