The doll figures are called Dolly Dingle. It was created in the early 1900''s as a cartoon in a women's magazine. It was issued as a series of paper dolls also.
Hi Julia! The way you have transformed the vintage quilt into a beautiful journal is amazing! Love these projects. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your talent!!
I think the quilt contains many pieces or Feedsack Fabric from the 1930s. People bought dry goods, like flour, in feedbacks and women made dresses from the cloth bags. Dolly Dingle was a full-page feature in a monthly women’s magazine for many years, so girls could play paper dolls while their mother enjoyed the magazine. She had multiple outfits and travelled to foreign lands each month. Now the pages are collectibles. To continue the story, about 75 years later, 3 sisters in Portland, OR found these paper dolls in an attic and created many reproduction fabrics called “AuntLindy’s Paper Dolls”. These are now collectible too!
Hi Julia, love this project. I think the fabric of the antique quilt looks like it's from the 30s or 40s. The little girl's look like they are patterned after the Shirley Temple dolls...so sweet!
I have four quilts my great grandma made and they are a little more worn than yours, but the batting looks a LOT like yours! My grandma they were made with her and her sisters old clothes! I think they are probably from around 1920-1930. She was born in 1898 and lived until 95! ❤❤❤ Ill be making lavendar sachets and Christmas ornaments for the family. These would be great to add to that list of things to upcycle them with! Thanks once again Julia! You're amazing!!! Brenda 🎃
Sachets would beautiful. What a thoughtful gift. I love that they used dresses. Working with these old quilts have been so fun- I’m looking for more. Have a great day!
I’ve only just found you and am watching back videos. So interesting viewing. I shall be binge watching. Love the use of these cute images and enjoyed the process. Fs
Thanks for your comment. I think you are right on the age of the quilt. I am still making Christmas gifts from it. Many areas are damaged but I'm cutting around, patching and restitching!
@@stitchesbyjulia Absolutely! To allow those fabulous fabrics to live on is amazing and true way of recycling. I love it! I’ve often thought about the person who first used the feedsacks - what kind of life did she (most likely a wife, mother or grandmother) live? Feedsack fabric is my all time FAVORITE 🥰. So happy to see your gorgeous journals💕💕
Hi, Julia. This is so cute! I have an old quilt piece I want to make a journal cover or a makeup bag with. These little girls are so sweet! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Hi Robin, it so good hearing from you. I’m just getting started with old quilts. It’s hard to cut into them- I look for damaged only but it still hurts! Have a creative week!
Love them!! You have inspired so many ideas in my head! I finally tried my hand at making 2 memory wall hangings from my aunts clothing. The turned out so cute. I wish I could show you.
I think the quilt is from the 30s or 40 s I have some of my moms and there is some of the same fabric in hers . Floursack .and the batting is cotton . But I’m no expert just had to go rummage in the quilt hutch it sure looks the same ?

I love old quilts too and am always on the hunt. I like them slightly damaged so I don't feel so guilty cutting it to pieces:)

Hi, thank you so much for your comment. I haven’t heard about Dolly Dingle but I would have loved it! Paper dolls were a big part of my childhood.
I made my first fabric flip tonight. So fun to just sit down and create from a stash. I love your journal!
Thank you! Working with bits and bobs of fabrics and lace is so much fun. Have fun creating.

I agree, there is so much charm in these primitive fabrics. Thanks for watching!
Those look like 25 lb. Flour bag material. I remember my mom getting them when I was younger. Would make hot pads or dish towels out of them.

Hi Julia, amazing work! Where did you find the dolls applique please? Love them for my daughter shirt ❤
Hi, These were sent to me from a viewer. Unfortunately I'm not sure where she got them.
I think the quilt is from the 30s or 40 s I have some of my moms and there is some of the same fabric in hers . Floursack .and the batting is cotton . But I’m no expert just had to go rummage in the quilt hutch it sure looks the same ?
I think you are right. I'm pretty sure most of the fabrics are from floursacks. Wish we could still buy flour that way! Thanks for your commmet, Julia
Where did you get the cute little girls fabric?
Hi, Someone gifted me the little girl fabric. It is so precious! I love anything that looks like paper dolls! Thanks for watching, Julia
❤❤❤🥳🥳🥳
Honestly they look like feedback fabrics.
Yes. Others mentioned feed sacks.
I have those little girls fabric.
They’re so sweet!
That looks like 1930s fabric to me.
Wow. I love the look of the fabrics. Timeworn and so special. Thanks for watching!
