Emma

The Revised New Columbian Doll Pattern

Many doll makers are familiar with the Columbian Dolls of Emma Adams, which were first made in 1891. This pattern is my version of the Columbian doll, and is designed to wear antique infant clothing. It is true to the original dolls in proportion and overall design, but I have added my own improvements and simplifications.

The pattern includes two options for the arms, and three options for the legs. There is a thin arm and a chubby arm, so you can choose the one that your dress best fits. The leg can be made thin or chubby to go with the arm. The leg pattern, which is an unusual one-piece design, is true to the original Columbian Doll. There is also a quick and easy leg alternative.

Two designs are included for the face. One is an authentic Columbian Doll face, and one is my own design for Emma.

Pattern includes Authentic 19th century baby drawers, slip and handkerchief bonnet. Finished height is 21 inches.
