Publisher's Synopsis
This handbook shows the reader how to create handcrafted dolls from natural materials. A range of simple, colourful designs should inspire both beginners and experienced doll makers alike. These dolls are old favourites, originating in Waldorf Steiner kindergartens where parents make dolls together. The reader can start with easy-to-make baby dolls, and then use the general sewing techniques to tackle the limbed dolls and clothes. The book features: ten different designs including soft, baggy, pouch, angel, sack and limbed dolls; colourful and pretty ways of making dolls' hair; 12 basic clothes patterns and ethnic variations; help with tools, techniques and materials; safety guidelines and sewing methods; and recycling tips and where to get materials.
