Back in the late 60's or early 70's I used to make dolls from Ivory soap bottles. The heads and hands were vinyl and you actually made clothes. The dolls were Mr. and Mrs. Claus that we made the most. The clothes were made from velvet, with whatever accessories you wanted to add. Also, I had a pattern for a Betsy Ross door stop doll and it was made from a 2 liter soda pop bottle. has anyone heard of these? I would love to get the patterns again to make for my granddaughters.
Yes! I am looking for the pattern on Mr and Mrs Santa as well! I do have parts of the pattern which my mother made by scratch however it doesn't make sense to me. She also made Santa boots from a 1 lb coffee can, you filled the can with candy, etc but the outside looked like a boot. Pls if you find the patterns keep me in mind as well ;)
I am also looking for dish soap bottles pattern of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. My mom made them for me thirty years ago for my first Christmas when I got married. Please let me know if anyone knows were I could possibly find this pattern.
I realize this post is old. But I am looking very hard for Ivory Bottle Doll for my Bride to Be. She speaks very often of this dearest doll her great grand mother made for her. I would love to recreate that doll as wedding gift. Jon_Blackledge @ bigfoot.com
My grandmother made these as well. I'm wondering if your local librarian might be able to help you. Libraries and borrow books from across the country...maybe they can find something that will help. You might also want to check out Michaels, in their doll making aisle...they have the doll parts, they might also have books with the patterns
