- I often saw a home made toy. Some of them are made from wood, others from paper, and others from cloth. My mother made one for the child. She made it from cloth.
She made a small little bag, and filled it with old pieces of clothes for the body. She made the head in the same way but smaller than the body. She sewed it on to the body.
She had to put two eyes, a nose and a mouth on its face. She makes the feet, arms, and hands and sews them on. When she had all done she made a dress and a hat, and put them on. The doll was then completed.- Collector
