A yard of material will make a heap of dolls.The challenge lies in stitching the tiny pattern pieces, turning the pieces inside out, and stuffing the small openings. I used a small crochet hook to turn the pieces inside out, and a whittled down chopstick to fill the parts.

I made the first little dolls on a treadle machine in Northern Maine. I can see them now, lined up, row upon row, on a long butcher block table, a virtual assembly line, patiently awaiting my final touches.
