THE
LADIES HOME SEWING COMPANION - A PINCUSHION DOLL
A doll sewing caddy/pincushion
taken from antique ones (the concept), a cookie cutter woman
I love from an antique collection (the outline) and antique
paper doll styles of the late 1800's (the underwear look).
Body outlines, hair and face designs are silkscreened on to
body fabric, but you can use the paper patterns included to
make more dolls. There is not much machine work as most of
the doll is finished by hand. Her arms will be drawn and sewn
from the arm pattern and her skirt is stuffed to become part
of her whole figure. The apron, which has a pocket for small
scissors, and her bodice are appliqued on. The needle keeper
(shaped like an old-fashioned pocket once worn around the waists
to hold various everyday sundries, especially sewing tools);
and the strawberry emery hang from her waist. Her broad hips
become the pincushion. All of her features and hair are simple
and relaxing embroidery. Under everything are wood forms to
define her shape and give her standing presence. Her oval wooden
base has two spool spindles fitted out with old-style wooden
spools which you wind with thread for display or you can use
the spindles for your own actual sewing threads. If you wish
to make more and do not have or wish to purchase the additional
wooden parts or silkscreened bodies, you can use the included
patterns to make your own. She is intended to be solidly stuffed
with wool (the best pincushion stuffing), but you can use wool
for upper parts down to below hips and other stuffing for lower
skirt.
