The 15 Inch Baby Doll Donation

This blog is primarily my way of recalling, researching, and remembering what I did, when I did it and how to do it again. Since I did a lousy job documenting this year, I'm not going to list all the places the doll's patterns came from, but I do want to remember what I did so I can retrace my steps for next year.

This is the last of the Mary Maxim 15 inch soft doll donations and I'll be said to see them go. The doll has been discontinued, but it did great service for many years. I do like the JC Toys, La Baby 16-inch Doll but it is hard to say goodbye to a faithful tradition.

15 Inch Baby Doll Sundress with Hat

This is another favorite outfit to make for the 15 inch soft doll Mary Maxim baby doll that I donate. The Hooks and Knives Blogspot has disappeared from the web, but I was able to locate the pattern for the time being here.

This was originally designed for a Fisher Price 14 1/2 Inch Mommy and Me doll, but I found it adapted easily enough. I changed to a K hook and joined the back after the first row to avoid having to use buttons or velcro. It works fine.

I like this pattern because it works up quickly, with adjustments requires little sewing, and it is easy for a child to take on and off without assistance.
