Make Your Own Old-Fashioned Cloth Doll and Her Wardrobe: With Full-Size Patterns

This is a nice soft-cover book with very good instruction and patterns for making a basic old-fashioned doll - and her baby doll too. It provides patterns for the total wardrobe for the doll. It would be a great mother/daughter or grandmother/grand-daughter project to do together. Very easy to follow, even for a novice like me.

This book is excellent for a beginner. The instructions are clear and precise. The doll was easy to make and wonderful looking. The clothes are a bit more complicated, but are still relatively easy. I highly recommend this book

This is a beautiful book with beautiful dolls and great clothes patterns. It's a great gift to give a little girl her own doll with its own wardrobe. You could do the doll to look like the little girl and the dresses in her favorite colors. There is even a prarie wedding dress. The only thing that I didn't like was the suggestion to varnish the head, neck and hands to make the dolls look antique. This would make the dolls faces hard. I would prefer to leave the dolls natural, or if you really want to antique them, use a gel stain or tea dye to get the same effect without the stiffness.

This book is wonderful, even for a beginner. Great patterns, plus the book is well written, easy to understand language. You can really make a unique doll.

This book has simple straight forward instructions. The doll pattern is simple as are the clothes. This book is for the dollmaker who wants a doll that is beautifully old fashion, but doesn't have the time to search for an original vintage doll. The doll is approximatly 18" tall with a wardrobe that contains nightgowns, dresses, pinafores,overskirts, bonnets,a suit,wedding dress and cape with muffs. She even has her own dolly!
