One of the first articles I wrote for this blog was an article on Chatty Cathy. Having just found her at a church rummage sale, I discovered after some research that she was one of the first Chatty's produced by Mattel. I made her a set of unders and a dress to wear. When I got her, her front teeth were missing. I have replaced her teeth and bought her some shoes. Well, now Chatty joins her Toni and Bleuette sisters with a new Christmas dress. She is thrilled to be able to get her picture taken in her new finery, As you can see from her pictures the dress has a white bodice trimmed in lace. The full skirt is made of green velvet. It looks as though it were custom made for her. But alas, the dress was a thrift store find, I paid $.99 for it and was very glad I now do not have to make her a Christmas dress. Chatty, now will join the Celebration of Jesus Birthday!
Lets learn about our dolls, restore them, sew for them and play with them.
