Book Review: Sewing Dolls by Karin Neuschütz

Posted: March 29th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »

Last summer, I finished a handmade Waldorf doll for my youngest child. I had started making the doll seven months prior but was stymied by the labor intensive sewing on of the hair. Attaching the yarn hair slammed the brakes on what formerly was a rather speedy project. Had I know of Karin Neuschütz’s Sewing Dolls book then, I don’t think I would have experienced the same delays.

Neuschütz’s book gives step by step instructions on how to attach the doll hair as well as clear pattern templates. If you are interested in making a Waldorf doll, Sewing Dolls is a great resource. In a day and age when so much can be bought for a price, there is much to be said for the thoughtful gift of a handmade toy.
