The Little Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe Doll House. Faneuil Hall, Boston, 1981
Dolls to put in doll houses, on Christmas trees
and shelves, and in small boxes.
A yard of material makes a heap of dolls.The challenge is in stitching together the tiny pattern pieces and, once sewn, turning them inside out, and pushing stuffing material into small openings. I used a small crochet hook to turn the pieces inside out, and a whittled down chopstick to fill the parts with stuffing material.
I made the first little dolls on a treadle sewing machine in Northern Maine. I can see them now, lined up, row upon row, on a long butcher block table, a virtual assembly line of little cloth bodies, patiently awaiting the final touches.
Archetypal miniatures at the Christmas Store, a cooperative in Cambridge Massachusetts.
