Dated, Cheesy, and Charming

By the people who brought you pantyhose crafts, a large book of instructions on how to make an extended family of dolls from ... you guessed it ... pantyhose! They are soft-sculpture Americana characters from the 1800s; patterns for each doll's clothing are included. I did not try to make any of the dolls from this 1983 book, but the instructions look comprehensive and the book is lavishly photo illustrated. The best part is the whimsical full-page biography of each quirky doll. Somebody had a good time writing this "family's" story and it reads like an author's background notes for a comic historical novel.
