A beautiful rag doll for beginners, a simple waldorf style doll with no sewing and no woollen stuffing.
A classic rag doll uses no stitching and is worked with knots or simply tying of thread. Traditional Russian rag dolls were folk toys that were also considered to be home protectors, thus were a thoughtful housewarming gift. This style easily blends into the Waldorf style of dolls where there are minimal or no features on the face of the dolls allowing room for a child to imagine his / her own expression or emotion. There's a lot that is conveyed through the gesture of these dolls and children sense it better than most adults do :)
Made from fabric scraps and rags, these make an excellent gift and craft choice for those who practice zero waste living. It is the most therapeutic style of doll making :)
