Dolly Dimples

I like vintage dolls and the above ‘work-in-progress’ is from a design published in the 1921.  Instead of embroidery I used seed beads for the features and kinky black wool for the needle-felted hair.  When outfitted in her jumpsuit/jodhpurs.

The scissors-holding wooden bird at the right is also a vintage piece of home woodworking,

Beadelia Pattern

Here is the free pattern for a beaded-hair doll.  It can be amended to represent any kind of doll.

You can adjust the pattern so that she is 4 1/2” to 5” tall and sew a brooch clasp on the back if you wish.

This is a cloth pin doll, so-called because she can be worn as a brooch.
The brooch clasp is sew on her shoulders at the back.

Her hair is beaded with individually sewn on seed beads.
She is about 4 1/2" tall.
