On the far left, we see the drawing from the cover of the envelope for vintage Skipper sewing pattern Simplicity 5861; in the center, a modern Mattel Stacie doll models a handmade version of the swing coat from view 5 of this vintage Skipper pattern, along with a scarf that looks slightly different from the one on the package / envelope drawing. In the far right photo, a vintage Skipper doll wears the exact same scarf and swing coat as we see pictured on the envelope for Simplicity 5861's vintage Skipper patterns. The text reads simply, "Simplicity 5861."

A woman's hand lies open, and inside her hand rests a tiny Sunday best or Easter bonnet made of off-white or ivory colored cotton eyelet fabric and a little pink velvet ribbon tied in a bow at the back of the bonnet. We're seeing the hat from above, looking straight on at the hat's top and brim.

The image shows a vintage McCall's printed sewing pattern for making a wardrobe of doll clothes for "chubby baby and toddler dolls" in the size range from 12 to 22 inches, depending upon whether you purchase the small, medium, or large doll clothes pattern set. The striking image on this pattern (published by McCall's in 1968) is the fact that a doll with brown skin and black hair appears on this pattern front, along with a variety of little blond and red headed dolls.

Before Caucasian people came to North America, only Native American people lived here. To this day, Native American people and mixed-race Native Americans live in the … Continue reading Why aren’t there more multicultural dolls on sewing patterns? #SewingChat #BlackHistoryMonth
