As a result, "Ruby" and her family have joined our family! Ruby is a small pocket-size doll that you and your girls can make together. She is easily made (even by those of you that declare yourselves uncrafty!) with pipe cleaners, wooden beads, felt, and yarn. (Sewing techniques and the included Bible studies are appropriate for young ladies age 6 and up.) After your daughter brings Ruby to life she can make her a pocket-sized family (we supply enough pipe cleaners and wooden beads for her husband, five children and a baby)! These little dolls can stand up and bend into different positions for hours of creative play.
After making the dolls, your daughter can go on to learn simple basic homemaking skills as she makes:
Instructions offer a choice between beginning and advanced alternatives. Your daughter will practice a rolled hem stitch, running stitch, blanket stitch, simple embroidery stitches, and cutting fabric with a pattern. (Remember -- all these projects are small. Don’t be intimidated!) She will enjoy mixing a batch of modeling clay, the food for Ruby’s shopping basket, baking a batch of yeast bread, and more! In addition, the kit includes:
Because we are buying materials in quantity, our complete kit can save you money and shopping time. This kit includes everything you need except for glue, scissors, optional paints, permanent marker, and bread ingredients. We provide all fabrics, needles, threads, yarns, birthday candle, wool, baskets, etc.
Use this as a fun beginning home economics project, Sunday afternoon craft, and mother-daughter Bible study, as you provide your daughters with simple homespun toys! Makes an excellent gift! Also great for a girls’ club project if you buy the pattern and shop for your own materials.

We wanted to give our girls
a doll that would encourage them to act out godly themes in their play, and that would
help them start to understand the description of a virtuous woman in Proverbs 31. We also
want to teach our daughters basic sewing, cooking, and craft skills.
We also offer
the option of ordering the Ruby Doll Pattern/Instructions, Young Lady of Valor (Proverbs 31 Illustrated Coloring Booklet), and The Virtuous Woman (Bible Study Guide) separately
for those of you who might have a basement full of craft supplies and fabric scraps!
