Babyland Rag Dolls

Because of work I did taking pictures of antique dolls, serendipity and kindess of others, I have the joy of owning this wonderful 14 1/2" Babyland Rag. I own a faceless Babyland Rag doll that I purchased a couple of years ago with the intention of making a Babyland Rag pattern. But in the way of the world, a number of people were thinking about the same thing unaware of each other, and Judi Ward beat me to it! You can see Judi Ward's Babyland Rag pattern here. She is a very experienced doll designer and I am sure her pattern is a fun one to make.

For those of you who enjoy Babyland Rag dolls,
here are some photos for you to enjoy:

And here are some closeups of the
ingenious face covering construction
which the cap and high necked dress hide.



The doll is a simple pancake doll
with an additional padding added to the front
and covered with a face covering.



A layer of pink fabric
covered by the white face covering
creates a kind of skin tone color.



Some needle sculpting creates a chin.







The sweet cap below effectively covers
all the stitching seen above.





Very simple hands.



Knit stockings and red shoes
combine with a candy-striped dress
make for one sweet doll!



I think she's lovely!



Smiles,
Dixie
