This whimsical doll features a square-ish body from specialty fabric (such as a textured handwoven or handprinted), head and appendages from fabric tubes, and a BIG button for the hat. The face is usually a square of UltraSuede and the feet and hands either buttons or beads. She’s silly, comical and cute, and is all of us women over 50 when we begin to feel like we have to work extra hard at keeping our figures intact. Any size from tiny to big is possible. In the kit fee, each student will receive my published pattern instructions for the Square Bodied Lady as well as UltraSuede for faces. Be on the look-out for huge buttons, especially those used in the 1930s and 1940s since these dolls need hats! More than one doll can probably be accomplished for those who work fast.
Max. students: 15, all levels
