Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern

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
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.
