Twirls for Girls

As crafters, we know how fun and satisfying it is to make and give a handmade present, especially when the recipient is a child. Remembering back to our own girlhoods, some of our most cherished gifts were handmade clothes for our beloved dollies. Whether they were made by moms, grandmas, aunts, or even purchased from craft bazaars, they were unique and special, just like the women who created them.

We invite you to share in the tradition of giving handcrafted doll clothes to girls at Christmastime. We are providing a free, easy patterns so that you can make a beautiful “twirl” skirt and/or a simple top to donate to your local Toys For Tots campaign. In addition, a selection of eBooks will be specially priced, and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Toys for Tots.

In 1947, Diane Hendricks handcrafted a Raggedy Ann doll. She asked her husband Bill, a USMCR officer, to donate the doll to a charity that would give her to a child in need. Unable to find such an organization, Diane told Bill that he should start one. Toys for Tots was born out of a spirit of giving of oneself, and today brings the joy of Christmas to millions of children across the country.
