Welcome to our Fiber Focus Group! I see that you are already on a Ning network, so you know how these sites operate. There are some tips under "Notes" on the front page. Please replace the smiling frog with an image that represents you. You can also personalize this template.

I saw on your blog that you have a store on Art Fire, which I had not heard about before. I went over and checked it out and would like to hear more about your experience there. Each member here has a blog which is attached to the front page, a nice way to introduce yourself to the group and give updates on things important to you. Maybe you could tell the whole group about Art Fire in a post at some point.

We have an Etsy group here which I would like you to join. Load your banner and link there to make it easier for others to find you. And, make sure to load some images of your work, too, as that is the main way members start connecting with each other. Make yourself at home!

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll

This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)

A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

Moccasins and Leather Craft Patterns


HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
