With a few hours and simple materials, even beginner crafters can make darling dolls with Jane Bull's help. In "Crafty Dolls," Jane offers up original designs for dolls of all kinds that can be customized in hundreds of different ways. The Lottie Doll, a simple rag doll, can be adapted, dressed up, and accessorized to accommodate the hobbies and tastes of kids of all ages (what better holiday or birthday gift than a homemade doll ). The book also includes patterns for topsy-turvy dolls, tiny dolls, even a mermaid with glorious rainbow-yarn hair. For crafters, sewers, and knitters, "Crafty Dolls" offers inspiration along with gorgeous and quirky doll projects that are fun to make, dress, and accessorize.
