Butterfly Fleece Blanket
Doll Sewing Pattern

If you are looking for something quick and easy for your church bazaar, this pattern is it! Use your imagination to come up with many designs to applique onto the blanket.

This sewing pattern is an excellent pattern for children who are home schooled. It can be the beginning of learning to sew as part of a class. Of course, the entire book offers simple doll sewing patterns, then more complicated doll sewing patterns until it reaches even more challenges with the knitting patterns.

One of the advantages to home schooling that I see is that children have much more time than those who are attending public school. Of course we want them to use that time for something that is pleasurable and valuable to them. What could be better than hours and hours playing with dolls and the clothes and blankets little girls made themselves. (Of course, children are drawn to different activities and it is important that they are are able to pursue their own interests. I guess just because I think being a child - and a child with precious time on my hands - would naturally lead to a desire to sew for dolls and play with them, it is not true for all of them!)

A woman named Rachel Phillips described her own experience of being home schooled. She learned to make little dolls as part of her sewing lessons while she was home schooled. She said that because she was so interested in dolls, it led to an interest in costume history. She ended up studying fashion design at a community college and was able to get an internship in the costume shop of a professional theater company while she was a teenager. When she went to college she was actually given college credit for the little dolls she had made earlier in her life. Rachel felt that history came alive for her when she created dolls representing the people she was reading about in the American Revolution. Through play, she could actually experience what was happening in the past.

My prayer is for a world so safe and abundant...
