Thanks Lorie, I've almost worn the coat out, I'm going to have to start patching it soon. The lovely dog belongs to a friend, she's getting old now, the dog not the friend.

Welcome, Lorie! There are some tips on how to use this site on the front page under "Notes". It helps to just click on the tabs at the top of the page and just explore each section. Most people start connecting through their photos, so do load some soon. I'm also interested in Biblical imagery, so had fun perusing your blog. Every member also has a blog here which is linked to the front page, a nice way to introduce yourself and to keep the rest of us updated on your news.

You can personalize your page by changing your template. We also have several groups you can join. You might be especially interested in the Etsy and bloggers groups, and you can also start new ones. There are also forum discussions. Just 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

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.
