A friend wanted a tiny Waldorf type doll for her daughter so I decided to draft a pattern for one. This tiny baby doll is just 5 inches tall. That’s about as little as I can imagine making a doll! It’s definitely a great way to use up odd bits left from making bigger Waldorf type dolls!

The carrier is based on a pattern in the book, Making Waldorf Dolls, by Maricristin Sealey. I downsized the smallest size carrier to fit this little doll. I used leftover quilt binding to finish the raw edges on the carrier. I sewed the binding on before I cut out notches to create the sides of the carrier. The book has all the details about how to make the carrier.

Here are some more photos. I made her two dresses and one sleep sack. And a very tiny pink peg doll so this doll will have a tiny baby of her very own!

Because the hand stitching is a bit lumpy around her shoulders think I’d try to sew her arms in by machine the next time. I also a little length to the legs in my pattern.

Overall, I’m pleased with my experiment.
