Rag doll

A soft, loosely stuffed doll traditionally made from scraps of cloth. Its simple construction and textile materials distinguish it from rigid dolls.

Textile: A flexible material made by interlacing, looping, or bonding fibers. Rag dolls are built from fabric, often scraps left over from other textile work.
Running stitch: A basic sewing stitch made by passing a needle over and under fabric in a line. It can join a rag doll’s cloth pieces with a straightforward seam.
Doll: A human-shaped figure made as a toy, collectible, or object of ritual or display. Rag dolls are one material-based form within the long history of dolls.
Toy: An object made or used for play, especially by children. Play is the traditional use that gives rag dolls their familiar form.
Porcelain doll: A doll with a head or body made from fired porcelain, often designed for display or collecting. Its hard, fragile surface contrasts with a rag doll’s soft cloth body.
Stuffed toy: A soft toy whose fabric covering encloses a filling. A rag doll is a human-shaped member of this broader toy family.
Backstitch: A strong hand-sewing stitch formed by taking each stitch backward into the previous one. It makes durable seams where a rag doll may be pulled or handled.
Folk art: Art made within community traditions, often using local materials and passed-down techniques. Handmade rag dolls can reflect the materials and visual traditions of their makers.
Handicraft: An object made by hand using practical or decorative craft skills. Rag dolls are often produced as individual sewing projects rather than factory-made objects.
Fashion doll: A doll designed primarily for wearing and displaying miniature clothing and accessories. Fashion dolls emphasize molded bodies and outfits rather than soft construction.
