I have always loved dolls, especially making tiny dolls clothes. I had a baby doll which had belonged to my mother’s sister; bought for her in 1931. After I had knitted her a traditional baby outfit I looked around for a child doll to dress. Not able to find what I wanted I remember the Holly Hobby doll I had made in the 70s and thought the best thing I could do would be to make my own doll. As I had lost the Holly Hobby pattern I started to look around for a replacement and came across Linda Carr’s book Classic Cloth Dolls. I was delighted with the book and spent six months reading it before I made my first dolls, Anya and Alex.
