Colonial crafts

On a recent trip to Historic St. Mary's City my girls each got a doll making kit as a souvenir.  The kit basically consisted of fabric that had been pre-cut into shapes for the dolls body and head, arms, legs, and dress.  Then there was some stuffing and some yarn to sew on for the hair.  It's a lot of hand sewing for a little girl.  J has been up to the task.  In fact she has been sewing nearly every spare moment she has.  She even worked on her doll Friday night in front of the television during our family movie night!

Here she is sewing the dress right after breakfast.  You can see the doll (minus the hair) next to her.
