Dolls to Make for Fun and Profit by Edith Flack Ackley 1938

Hand-made dolls have an irresistible charm all their own, perhaps because each one is personally created and no two are exactly alike.

Mrs. Ackley tells simply and exactly how to make her dolls, with patterns for the dolls and clothes. She gives detailed instructions for hair and faces. Careful drawings show every step of the making, as well as the finished dolls. The directions are so clearly given and the patterns so simple that children of eight and ten can follow them and have hours of fun; yet from the same book dolls can be made professionally to sell successfully in shops.
