Is This A Lost Art or Does Someone Remember - Pew Dolls - Please Help if You Can

The Pew Baby doll originated during the days when family worship at the community church was just that - family worship. The family would all sit together in the worship service (many times on the pew designated for that family), and little girls were allowed to carry dolls with them that would not disrupt the service. These were usually homemade dolls that were constructed of all soft materials so they would not make noise on the wooden pew. They became known as pew babies. You can buy them here http://www.finchfarms.com/pewdolls.html http://www.homemadecountry.com/id117.html

Ok well a day late and a dollar short. I found the greenlight site, but.... Anyway, just wanted you know I was looking as well. Good luck with your doll making. :-)

I hope this is what you are looking for: http://www.greenlightwrite.com/pewbaby.htm Scroll down towards the bottom of this site.

Arts show the imitation of the real world process. So the art may be of any type. I dont know much of the types of art so i am unable to response you. Sorry.

Here are six more things to make with a handkerchief, including a bunny. http://www.20kweb/orator.html.

I have seen them but didn't know what they were called, I just wanted to resond because I am happy about the links and will be making some myself!

I don't know any thing about pew babies but I find them interesting and this is the only way that I know of to keep track of a discussion.

THank you for asking this question and getting so many great responses. I have never seen these before but now I can't wait to make me one or two. I bet these would make a great conversation piece at a bazar

I am sorry I don't, but I really wanted to keep track of how this post developes. I really love dolls and I would like to learn how to make them also...SS

I have also seen bunnies made this way. Sometimes I see them in magic books. I'm going to go check out the links at the beginning of your discussion. Thanks.
