Making Dolls 
By H. Witzig & G. E. Kuhn
Preloved, hardcover book, withdrawn from the library. Has a name and date inscribed 1971.
Why make a doll when such a variety of good-looking dolls are readily available in stores? Because to make your own doll is a unique and rewarding craft easily performed by anyone. And the results are certain to be treasured more than any mass-produced item.
With patterns, diagrams, photographs and complete instructions, the authors of this book show you how to make a multitude of dolls, from the simplest stuffed-stocking type to fully-jointed professional-looking dolls. You can knit dolls, sew dolls, carve dolls, assemble them from foam rubber, or model them from a plain putty-like material that hardens when dry. Either soft- or firm-bodied dolls may be made fully mobile. Another day, another doll.
Once you have begun constructing dolls, you will not be able to resist the challenge of making more and more complex dolls. Special sections of the book on facial and body proportions will enable you to add artistic touches to your work.
Dolls were the earliest inventions of children and have always afforded them great pleasure. No doll will be more appreciated or prized by little girls (and older girls too) than the doll that is personally designed and made.
