Uncut, mostly factory folded McCall's pattern 2943 by designer Faye Wine to make (about) 20 inch pilgrim decorative dolls with simple clothes (A and B) and little 12 inch dolls with fancy clothes (C) and very short legs.
(By "mostly favtory folded," I mean that I unfolded a bit to estimate how big the finished dolls would be because I couldn't find that information on the envelope, then I folded it up and stuck it back in the envelope.)

The instructions show the long-legged male pilgrim either doing the sideways splits or being used as a draft blocker, or maybe both. I guess we don't always think of pilgrims as gymnasts, but maybe they hung out with the Germans before they shipped themselves to America. Or maybe Faye Wine was mixing up Pennsylvania Dutch with early pilgrims because of the clothes or something. Then again, I'm not sure if Amish did the whole Turner Hall thing. I'd ask my husband (He's a historian who grew up in Pennsylvania) but he's already giving me the funny looks this morning. I'm a former Turner Hall girl, and you can see where that got me.
Please send me any questions you may have, and thanks for looking.
