It reminds me of my childhood when I had two girl dolls, one white, one black, about 7" high. I had a huge range of clothes for them because my mother's magazine printed patterns every week, beginning in the 1940s. The clothes were knitted, crocheted and sewn. There was a very special issue in June 1953 when a full set of coronation regalia was published. My mother and I made everything from scraps, I still had the clothes when our first daughter was old enough to appreciate them but when I opened the box the moth had ravaged everything - even the patterns :-( Mary |

Those are lovely, Wendy. Reminds me of my Grandma's knitted outfits she
would make us for our Barbie dolls when we were little, and she never followed a written pattern. Hers weren't as detailed as those that you posted, but even so, I can't imagine knitting something that tiny! Thanks for sharing! lisa , |

Wendy Unfortunately, the Barbie clothes were 100% wool and got moth-eaten up in Mama's attic back in the 1970s. We do still have a couple of lovely little things that Grandma made, though, a wool knitted baby bottle warmer she made for me when I was born (1963), and an lovely lace pinafore she made for my older sister out of perwinkle-colored crochet cotton back in the 1950s. The bottle warmer is so cute--a knitted poodle that the bottle is stashed in. Grandma was so talented with needle work. She was born in rural Michigan in the 1880s, so she learned to make some amazing things, mostly out of necessity. :-) I'll check out the website again! lisa |
