Making Waldorf Dolls by Maricristin Sealey

Formerly Kinder Dolls, recently updated Making Waldorf Dolls shows how to create handcrafted dolls from natural materials.

"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 a more ambitious limbed or jointed doll.

Here are;

• 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.

Paperbound, 7 ½ x 9 ½, 160 pages, fully illustrated.
