Hi Evie, you sent an email to me (Diana Bracy) that should have gone to Chrissy and she responded to me, instead of you. I am not sure of how it was mixed up, if you need a copy of the email, you can reach me at bracys@cox.net.

Evie,

I love your work, especially the pieces in your bread and circuses shop. Nicely nostalgic and ambiguous without being sentimental or 'cute', if that makes sense! I'd love to commission you someday to do Turkish versions with embroidery, old silk, and Ottoman ladies...

Hello and thanks all for the warm welcome.

That's the first time anyone has asked me to write an article - how wonderful. Please let me know what you'd expect, Rachel.

Hi, Evie! What a great photo! I just took a look at your blog and thought it would be fun to have you write an article about how you use these old photos in your work. And, of course, you can promote your Etsy store as well! Let me know! Rachel

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.

This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 20. All the sizes are in one package. Look at our National Standard size chart for your size. Sizes 8-12 require 5 3/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric; sizes 14-20 require 5 5/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.

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.
