Rag Doll from Vintage Fabrics

I wanted to make an olde-tyme rag doll for one of my friend's little girls. I searched around for a pattern and I found a this wonderful tutorial from Inside A Black Apple.


My twist on this project was to use vintage fabrics from the 40s. All of the fabrics and the button are vintage, except for the yellow felt that I used for her hair.


You can see, I am sure the ink that is around her hairline (used the wrong disappearing ink marker, DRAT). But Mary Larkin, the sweet little girl I made it for doesn't seem to mind!

My own little girl, Ella, is turning two in a couple of weeks, and I am planning a lifesized Black Apple Doll for her, also out vintage materials.

What fun craft projects have you made from vintage materials?
