Do you remember the Hollie Hobbie dolls that were soooo popular during the 70ies ? My sister and I made one from an old sheat of cotton and made knitted clothes for them.
These days, there seems to be a revival of those sort of dolls. In her book '
My rag doll' by Corinne Crasbercu, the hollie hobbie doll has become a real little princess. I tried out some of her patterns, and this is the result :
 |
| a gorgeous blonde |
 |
| now with my hat ! |
 |
| a prima ballerina in her tutu |
 |
| brown pigtails are cute |
 |
| 2 skeins of mohair for the hair ! |
 |
| she is ever so soft |
I don't know if these dolls are meant to play with. The construction of the hair is really delicate.
I think they will prefer to be 'on display' rather than be played with....
Oh, and remember Sarah Kay's Hollie Hobbie ?
