I love to create character Dolls using a barbed needle and washed dyed and carded fleece. You just never know what or who is going to come to life.

Welcome, Karen!

Looks like you are already on a Ning site and have a couple of friends, so you probably know how to use this site. There are some tips on how to use this one under "Notes" on the front page. It helps if you click on the tabs at the top so you know where everything is. You can change your page to reflect your tastes- lots of templates available that you can tweak. And, every member here has a blog which is linked to the front page, a nice way to introduce yourself and to keep us updated on your news.

There are a couple of felt groups and it would be nice if someone started a doll/softies group as there are several members who make them. There are also quite a few Australians here. And, there is an Etsy group that you might want to join. Please load some photos soon as that is how most people start connecting. Jump in and 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.

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.

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.
