Opis

It is a beautiful thing, says Maricristin Sealey, "to craft a doll with your own hands, sew it together with love, then make a gift of it to your child with the words, 'I made this for you '"

This comprehensive, well-illustrated book will give even the most nervous beginner the confidence to produce a unique, handcrafted toy from natural materials. Once you have mastered the basic baby dolls, you can progress to the more ambitious limbed and jointed dolls.

Includes:

• ten designs including soft, baggy, pouch, angel, sack and limbed dolls
• instructions for knitted, sewn and embroidered hairstyles, lots of patterns for dolls' clothes and accessories
• help with tools, techniques and materials
• ideas for recycling clothing for dollmaking and where to get materials

This new edition is published with a completely revised resource list.
