Belinda and Lucinda-Edith Flack Ackley pattern dolls

These are all dolls I've made from Edith Flack Ackley's 1934 pattern--Belinda and Lucinda.

The pattern was offered for sale in the November 1934 issue of Woman's Home Companion.  They were fun to make but somewhat harder to sew than Edith's larger doll pattern.  They are about 10 inches.  See my link for a free pattern to make your own.  I only ask that you do not resell my pattern.

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

Dolly's new knitted skirt

This is what I've been working on today.  This is a pattern by knits so quaint.  The dolly pinafores  are very cute and she sells a cottage license for only $10.00.  I had to adjust the pattern to a smaller size.   But I'm happy with how it turned out.  I also learned a new cast on called PCO.  It's time consuming but makes a very nice hem.

This pinafore is not for this dolly, she is just modeling it.  It will go to a doll that has yet to be crafted.
