A Christmas Doll
My sister-in-law has inherited stacks of what she calls vintage linens. Earlier this year we looked through some of her stacks to find pieces that I could turn into doll clothing. She found a set of table runners that she liked and asked me to make a doll for her guest room using the pieces. It was suppose to be a birthday doll, but I didn’t finish it until Christmas. I designed the 18” doll. I have not yet developed publishable a pattern for the doll. The dress and pinafore pattern was designed by Susan York. Her pattern was published in the Fall 1995 edition of Sew Beautiful Magazine. I have used her pattern many times and have always been happy with the result.
The center panel of the pinafore was marked on this piece before it was cut.
Two pinafore pockets were marked on this piece.
Here is the finished doll. She was hiding in the cloth sack that I showed you on December 19.
