SIZES V
Dolls catered for range from 24 - 76 cm (9 Vi ins. = 30 ins»), including
baby dolls and rag dolls, with some clothes interchangeable between
the different types. Sizes are quoted with the patterns, but to avoid
duplication of measurements on each page for the tiny teenage dolls and
the most popular girl dolls, a key is given here for those.

will be firmer on the baby
doll and the neck may be
too high, but this can be
adjusted while fitting. It is

DRAFTING — Begin each
pattern piece from point O.
Rule two lines at right
angles first and take all
measurements along them
from point 0 without moving
your tape. More construc-
tion lines are ruled at right
angles to these, but now each
section will be measured
separately. Sloping lines are
ruled next, then the curves
can be drawn.
Add a wrap and facing to
the back for the fastening.
The blouse length is shown
and the side seams would be
straight for this. Include the
collar if required.
The sleeve will be wrist
length, with only a small
turning, but by making a
hem you can bring it up to
three-quarter length. A short
sleeve is marked. For this
the hem is shaped out to sit
flat when turned up.
Quarter-inch turnings are
allowed.
Draft the size pattern you
require, then proceed as fol-
