Title A name given to the resource Sewn Clothes for Ginny Doll Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Myrtle Eshelman Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1954 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Most Dresses: 4 X 5 inches; Bridal dress: 5.25 X 5.5 inches Description An account of the resource In 1954, I received a Christmas gift from my Grandma Myrtle, a Ginny doll, which all these years later still means so much to me! She represents three generations of creators. My Grandma, who sewed and tatted, made the tiny wardrobe from swatches of fabric provided by my Mother. The swatches came from clothes my Mother, a seamstress, made for me. Around 2000, I added clothes to Ginny’s wardrobe with crochet. I have about 20 handmade outfits for my doll. Those I have chosen to photograph are great examples of the tiny exquisite embellishments my grandmother added to each piece: paper flowers, French knot bouquet; lace edging with lacy pompom. Lace flower with French knots. Interestingly, the pink dress is made of Pongee fabric: I remember this because I would say things like, “I’m going to wear the pink pongee” ”Pongee is a lightweight & plain weave fabric made from silk or a blend of silk & synthetic fibers. It is known for its soft texture and smooth finish. Typically made in plain or solid colors, it can be printed with designs or patterns.” Textileglossary.com Ginny came with a travel case in which I still store all of her clothes and accessories.
