Summary
A peg doll made from a wooden clothes peg with a pipe cleaner forming her arms. Her hair is made from brown wool, wound around her head and her facial features are drawn on with a black pen. Her shoes are suggested by colouring the ends of the peg with black ink. She is wearing a long green velvet skirt and a green floral-patterned cotton blouse which has very puffed sleeves and a tiny piece of lace at the front neck. She has a hat with a wide brim made from white felt with the same floral fabric as a band, and carries a parasol made from the same floral fabric with a wooden cocktail stick handle.
