Vintage Hanky Church Doll

To support more free tutorials shop at http://www.MaggiesCrochet.com As a person who has a love of much that is vintage, I can't help but find these dolls absolutely charming. They are quite popular with collectors today and can be found adorning Christmas trees. Originally, though, they were crafted as quiet toys for children as far back as the Civil War days. These simple little dolls were made from handkerchiefs for little girls. They were carried to church and were known as "Sunday toys" because they were only to be played with on Sundays. Some mothers would even place sugar cubes in the head for young children to silently suck on during a service. Materials required: Hanky, small amount of stuffing, rubber band, ribbon, scissors, lace, sewing needle, and thread.
