Alexandra made this colonial
muslin doll. What is so unique about the making of the doll is EVERY
stitch was hand sewn! A big storm hit her town, she lost electricity
for 3 days. It took her 5 and 1/2 hours of hand sewing to make her
doll, Rebecca. |

This doll is so adorable.
You just want to pick her up. The Showmanship Award in the Amateur
division of one of our doll contests went to Darlene from MO. She used a
pattern from Judy Ward. Her doll is "Sweetie." |

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. |
