It is a lovely pattern with some of the outfits still been suitable for todays fashions and a couple that could be altered slightly to make them more up to date.
The wedding dress is a real delight, I would imagine that it is every little girls dream.
I also love the cable sweaters, what fun to dress the dolls up to play in the snow.
The pattern was a great find from a thrift shop in Mount Dora for the princely sum of 50c. I wonder how many times it has been used and how many little knitted outfits are still around.
See you soon.
Oh how I loved my Cindy doll.... but it makes me feel really old when 1984 is classed as vintage! ;-)

I am not sure it is Gilly, there are so many definitions of vintage, its not really clear.
DeleteHello Lorraine

Wow, that brings back lovely memories of my Sister and I playing together. Those patterns are just lovely, especially if you can make them (I couldn't), they will be such a joy to make. Woo xx
ReplyDeleteOmigoodness. My mum knitted all my Sindy doll clothes. I thought the little kitted dresses were fab!
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning mama. You should get some made up for Lily and Daisy to put on their Barbies.. x
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. In the US, they were Ken and Barbie and I played with mine all the time as a young girl. Thanks for a walk down memory lane. Have a great day, Heather
ReplyDeleteBack in the past !!!! Make me smile...
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day !

Thank you for bringing back childhood memories. Yes, we girls love playing with our dolls and dressing them up.
ReplyDeleteI love the knitted outfit but I do not remember Cindy and Paul. Guess my daughters had outgrown dolls by then. :) Little Wilbur's quilt is turning out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThey were made by pedigree in England from 1963.
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are so cute and fun, my friend :) Happy day to you. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!! I don't think that I will be hoping for any of these in grown up sizes, but they would still be great for a doll wouldn't they! xx
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of Cindy and Paul before now, but I see they were made by Mattel; we're they Barbie and Ken sized? I loved Barbies and still have all of mine. My Barbies would have been from about the same era as the dolls in your patterns, early 80's through late 80's. But I still play with them sometimes now. :)
ReplyDeleteThey were the same size as Barbie and Ken but were made by Pedigree in England from 1963.
DeleteI remember Cindy but couldn't have said who Paul was!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful pattern book. It's fun to look back on past styles even for dolls!
That's brilliant, I used to have a Cindy doll & a neighbour used to knit me clothes for her. x
ReplyDeleteI think I do remember Cindy but Paul, not so much. I had a Barbie-like doll called Mary Make-up... you could dye her hair and do her makeup. I made many outfits for her...and I know where she is too! I may just get her out and blog about her...lol!
ReplyDeleteI had Mary Make-up as well. I've never heard anyone mention her since I was a child, brings back memories.
DeleteWhat fun! I didn't have anything like this growing up.
