This 15 inch Santa is a Christmas
gift for a friend. The pattern is called "Vintage Santa"
and it is #FCM483 from Fibre-Craft. He wasn't hard to make once
I found the Santa parts! He has a cloth body that I had to stuff,
and the hands and head had to be attached. I could not find the
boots, so I bought another style of Santa doll who had boots,
and that Santa graciously donated them for this project. It's
not easy giving this one up. Maybe some day I will make one for
me. |

I made this little Court Jester doll
for a friend's birthday. She is from the American School of Needlework
leaflet, "Cindy Doll Delights." She was fun to make! |

This is a bad picture of a really
cute doll that I made for my Grandma. She is "Peppermint
Candy" (Fibre-Craft
#FCM162, c. 1989). She is supposed to be made in red, pink, &
white, But I made her with sage green and cream. The hat is from
Fibre-Craft's "Mary Quite Contrary" (FCM165) pattern.
I will have to ask Grandma to take a picture since mine is so
poor. |

This pillow doll is named "Rosalie,"
and comes from the pattern leaflet "Red Heart Victorian
Images - Bed and Bath Accessories to Crochet." (c. 1991
Coats & Clark) She was made for an order. I changed some
things about the way this doll is trimmed, and the hat comes
from another pattern since the Rosalie pattern did not have a
hat, and the buyer wanted one. Luckily I took a picture of this
because I immediately got an order for another doll as soon as
this one was delivered. :) That is the second doll pictured,
made with Raspberry, Off-White, and Evergreen Simply Soft yarn
and a brunette doll. |

This was a fun project. This little
7 1/2 inch tall doll is from the 1940s or 50s. The pattern for
her dress comes from the old 10 cent book, "Dolls and Dolls."
(Star book #84, copyright 1951.) I used Clark's Boilfast thread
of roughly the same vintage. This is size #20 thread that was
originally white, but has aged to a lovely eggshell-like color. |

This one is the "Pandora"
witch air freshener doll. She comes from Fibre-Craft's leaflet
#FCM477, copyright 1996. I changed a few little things about
her - mostly how she is trimmed, but the pattern was well-written
and I really had no problems. |

This is the Christmas Angel
from American School of Needlework
leaflet #1215, "Angel Dolls." (Copyright 1995)
She is made with Red Heart Classic yarn in white, and Caron Christmas
Glitter in red (this yarn has a silver thread wrapping around
it). The dress is decorated with red silk poinsettias. I used
a 13 inch Fibre-Craft Music Box Doll. These are such fun to make!
She is a Christmas gift. |

This is the Flower Garden Angel
from American School of Needlework's
leaflet #1215 "Angel Dolls." (Copyright 1995) I made
this for a friend I made through the Crochet
List. She is quite similar to the Christmas Angel shown above,
but this is a different pattern. I really enjoyed making this
doll! Her dress is made with Simply Soft worsted weight yarn
in Soft Yellow and Red Heart Classic yarn in white. Her dress
is trimmed with assorted silk flowers. The dress fits a 13 inch
Fibre-Craft doll. |
