Tutorial: No-sew handkerchief dolls

Sussex Mouse shares a tutorial showing how she makes Church Dolls. They’re soft fabric dolls made out of a handkerchief. There’s no sewing required. It’s put together with just knots and a rubber band. You can add the face with a fabric marker, though you could stitch the face if you prefer. They’re especially beautiful made out of a vintage handkerchief.
