Clothespin Dolls

Hannah and Kasey are working on some state projects with their friends this week. Hannah's state is Alaska so I set to trying to figure out how to make an Eskimo doll from a wooden clothespin. Here is what I came up with.


After walking Hannah through the steps, I cut out her fabric and drew the face on the dolls. Hannah did all the sewing herself and painted the little shoes on the feet:


The girls wanted to make their own dolls so I helped Kasey cut out some felt and showed her how to sew the dress she wanted. She colored the face and did all the sewing herself:
And here's one that Hannah did completely by herself, pattern, sewing and all.
