I used Mary Huber's pattern that is in the "Doll Reader-Make and Dress, Vol III, " published by Hobby House Pess, Inc. in 1982. This doll designer is very talented. I learned a lot from making the adorable doll. Thanks.

Baby Doll Finished
Today my little 7 inch baby doll became a whole entity :) She is dressed in her finest little gown and is ready to meet everybody. She has a needle sculpted body of ribbing material. Her attire is of the lightest weight cotton material, adorned with lace and ruffles. Her picture will be entered in the the clothdoll Baby Doll contest. This little imp looks adorable sitting on the bookcase in the livingroom.

Cloth Doll Baby Challenge
This is a pattern for a 7 inch baby doll that appeared many years ago in the Doll Reader book. She is rather hard to make because she is so tiny and yet intricate. Needless to say, my sewing isn't blue ribbon grade on this little doll, but she did come together :( , after a fashion. She is resting on the sewing table with her underwear and long slip on. Tomorrow I'll start on her little christening gown and her pretty bonnet.
Storybook Cloth Doll Challenge
Raggedy Ann cloth doll...... I've made lots of them, but this little one was the easiest. She is holding a little doll dressed just like she is. This doll was entered into the Cloth Dollmaking challenge this month. It is a lot of fun to be making clothdolls again. Now that I'm 70, it seems harder for me, but more fun. The embroidery on her little apron was done by my new Brother sewing machine. I like that feature, plus it threads itself! :)
