From a Barbara Willis pattern:

Doll was made from a Barbara Willis pattern of a "high school" girl. This is about 16" tall and stands on her own (with the help of slightly over-sized flat shoes).

 

 

Doll is dressed for fall. The dog was purchased at a mall.
Hair is mohair.
Fabrics are upholstry weight silk trimmed w/feather boa. Dog's coat and doll's muff were machine quilted.

 


Made this for my mother with fabric she had purchased many years ago. She is heavily varnished and very stiff - the goal was to make it look like a wooden doll of late 1700's.
She is dressed in all cotton with a bustle and bloomers under her skirt. About 17" tall.
