McCall 1931 Sue and Sandy Rag Dolls – Vintage Boy and Girl Rag Doll Sewing Pattern with Clothing, Shoes & Wig Instructions

Create two charming cloth dolls from the 1930s with this delightful vintage McCall sewing pattern for Sue and Sandy, a boy and girl rag-doll pair. This nostalgic pattern includes everything needed to make the doll bodies along with a complete wardrobe for both characters.

The pattern makes the rag-doll bodies for Sue and Sandy, with clothing designed especially for each doll. Sue, the girl doll, has a pretty dress with ruffle trim, matching bonnet, panties, and shoes. Sandy, the boy doll, wears a ruffle-trimmed blouse with trousers and matching shoes. Instructions are also included for making the dolls’ yarn wigs, while socks may be purchased separately.

The clothing has the sweet, simple styling characteristic of children’s fashions and handmade dolls from the 1930s. The girl’s dress and boy’s blouse feature charming ruffle details, adding to their homespun character. The bonnet completes Sue’s traditional little-girl ensemble, while Sandy’s trousers and blouse give him a classic vintage boy-doll appearance.

The original pattern dates from the 1930s, making it an excellent example of vintage McCall toy and doll design. Rag dolls were particularly suited to home sewing because they could be made from readily available fabric scraps and dressed in handmade clothing. A pair such as Sue and Sandy would also make wonderful siblings, friends, nursery companions, or handmade gifts.
