Cloth Dolls
I borrowed a book from my public library titled "Creative Cloth Doll Making" by Patti Medaris Culea. I used pattern #1 from her book and so far have made two dolls. I just love this doll pattern for a doll that has long, shapely legs that are designed to make the doll sit nicely. There were many wonderful examples made from this pattern as well as others that were made by various doll artists. I made my dolls out of muslin and dyed the body, arms & legs and painted the face, neck and hands with fabric paint. I sewed the first doll's costume out of silk which I had also dyed. I'm having so much enjoyment out of this pattern & have laid out three more dolls to sew. I highly recommend the book to other cloth doll makers and I am definitely asking for my own copy of the book for Christmas! Remarks from other doll makers??? Carol S. |

See if they can get "Sewing & Sculpting Dolls" by Eloise Piper. I liked it even better. They should be able to get it from another library in your state, if they don't have it. Lee |
