Reformer Ruby 23″ Cloth Doll Pattern
This pattern, from My Sunshine Dolls, was inspired by an incredible 6 year old girl named Ruby Bridges, who paved the way for people of color to receive an equal education. Pattern includes full color photographs and step-by-step directions to make this adorable 23″ cloth doll wearing a removable dress. It also includes a pattern for a book bag. Doll, dress and book bag can be made from cotton, hair from felt and yarn and shoes from felt. This pattern is the second in a series of Women in History patterns that celebrate the strong, brave women who have been inspirations to all women. I hope that these dolls will inspire young girls everywhere to go for what they want!
