    3.0 out of 5 stars Thoughts on this book from a professional waldorf dollmaker, November 5, 2002

    I bought this book, not to learn to make dolls, as I have been making Waldorf dolls since I was 12 and still in Waldorf School myself, but as a teacher of Waldorf dollmaking workshops. I wanted to see weather this is a book that I could recomend to students of mine or to people who ask me which is the best book to learn from. After careful appraisal, this is my review.

    Baby Dolls and Their Clothes has good points and bad points. It is a good book in that it offers clear photo instruction on the making of a Waldorf-style doll, and the making of simple clothes. Anyone who has a small amouth of knowledge of sewing and use of patterns should be able to use this book for instruction on making dolls.

    However, this book leaves much to be desired.

    Most of the dolls in this book are quite amature looking, having their facial features improperly placed or improper proportions, or both. Facial features should ALWAYS be made with the eyes and mouth in an equalateral triangle, a point... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Supplementary Book, December 2, 2001

    For those wondering, a made to order Waldorf doll will cost you anywhere between $75-$125. (Perform a search on the internet for Waldorf dolls to see what I mean.) Waldorf doll kits are available at a greatly reduced price and that is how this review starts...

    I purchased a Waldorf Doll kit off the internet and stitched the doll together. Directions for boy hair were lacking with the kit and few clothing patterns were included so I purchased this book hoping to pick up where the kit instructions left off.

    This is my first attempt at making a Waldorf doll and after reading the book, wish I'd purchased this book prior to starting my kit for one simple reason; the piecing together of the head, body, and arms are very clear due to the color photos. Just knowing what the body is supposed to look like is half the battle.

    As to the hair: I can totally understand and appreciate the hair instructions. Compared to the kit instructions, the hair instructions with color photos from... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully photographed, but no "true" patterns, December 11, 2001
    By A Customer
    This book is filled with very helpful, close-up photographs of the doll-making techniques used in the construction of traditional Steiner-inspired dolls. However, it does not contain patterns (as you would find in a kit) but small photographs of construction paper patterns intended to be photocopied and enlarged. I agree completely with another review which suggests using this book in conjunction with a kit (available from Little Joys, Weir Dolls, and Magic Cabin), especially if you are new to this style of doll. The clothing styles described are very traditional (the only exceptions being a tyrolean dress & coat and a fringed leather dress ". . . as befits a young squaw"). The author also includes instructions for several "easy-to-make" dolls: permanent clothed, woolen, knitted-body and bag-bodied, as well as instructions for a few miscellaneous toys. Overall great photographs, occasionally uneven instruction, and poor "patterns" (the only... Read more
