I don't think that is the one she is talking about.  The skirt part of it
was flared out and made the doll stand up.  

Wasn't the ones that fit on the toilet rolls crocheted and that is what
covered the roll?

I remember the dolls, where it has the upper part of the body and a flaired,
croched skirt and the skirt is placed over a toylet paper role, to make it
stand up.

Terry,

I know that Horizons for the Blind or Marjorie Arnott sells crochet bed doll
patterns. But, I thought they were bigger than Barbie size. Where does this
disk go and what is it's purpose? Can you describe it for me? I have some
ideas.

I need some help from those who remember this old craft. Is there anyone out
there who remember the 1950 craft called Bed Dolls? These were a type of
Barbie size dolls made into a 3 tier skirt that you placed on your bed after
making it up. The skirts were made with a round circle disc that was a
testured paper or felt like fabric but not cloth. I am looking for the name
of those discs to see if they still make them. If anyone remembers these
dolls please let me know anything you remember. My Mom made so many of these
back then is so many different colors from pink, white, all colors. I will
do a computer search but if anyone can help, I have I have 6 grandaughters
and need to get started on my Christmas gifts soon. Appreciate anyones help.

Terry K
