These little cuties were made 29 years ago from a Jean Greenhowe pattern (? sp.). Would I have the patience now to make a dozen of the same thing. I wonder if any of the little girls they were made for as mascots still have them. Its a scanned old poleroid so thats why the quality is bad. I know the uniforms are dated now but they don't look much different from dolls on Etsy do they. Just wish I could have back some of that patience I must have had way back in 1981.

Ahhhhhhhhhh the 'Good Old Days'! We all feel like that sometimes. Never mind I bet all that patience is still there, its just resting - needs inspiration, a real purpose to get going again!
ReplyDeleteDolls look so cute, I never die manage to knit properly, but my mum made things like your dolls.
Hope its not too hot for you over there.

Oh, how sweet to make all those cute little dolls! And how great that you still have the photo. I was just wishing I had photos of some of the things I've made for my children over the years -- things that have somehow been lost in moves or whatever ;-(.
