pillowcase doll patterns

14 years ago

I did find a link on here, but it had expired (the link sent). I found some old embroidered pillowcases (aunts) and would like to make some dolls. I used to have a book with a pattern, but for the life of me, I can't find it. Can anyone recommend something? I think the pattern that I had seen had a purchased ceramic head.

Thanks in advance!!

I wish I could remember how to get in touch with the woman who made these several years ago. I'll try to remember and if I find out how I'll share it!

FOUND THIS OFF GOOGLE. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Step 1 Lay the pillow case flat. Press each side with a hot iron to remove wrinkles. Step 2 Take the top corners of the pillow case and tie a single knot in each side. Tie the knot so there are a few inches of material below the knot; these are the arms of the doll. Step 3 Open the pillow case up. Stuff a wad of batting in the top of the pillowcase, between the two arms. Form the batting into a ball. Step 4 Gather the pillowcase around the bottom of the batting. Wrap a rubber band around the bottom so that the ball makes a head. Step 5 Glue or sew a piece of lace over the top of the head to form the brim of a bonnet. Tie a piece of ribbon around the neck of the doll to form the bonnet ties and to cover the rubber band. Step 6 Embroider a face on the doll. Draw a face on with permanent markers, or leave the face blank if you prefer.
