Sewing Academy China Doll

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!! I just ordered the 15 inch Mary Frances doll, and can't wait for it to get her in the mail and start sewing for her. I think it will be a lovely period activity for downtime at events, to be sewing tiny undergarments or dresses! As I will be 20 at my next reenactment I think that sewing for a child-doll will be representative of my wistfulness for childhood and my thoughts of sewing for future children. A combination, in my mind, of these three paintings by Mary Cassatt:

Also, because Mary Frances' height is so close to 16", I'm hoping she will be able to wear the doll's clothing from the 1913 book The Mary Frances Sewing Book, which coincidentally shares my new doll's name!
