5 out of 5 starsI just LOVE these patterns ... the owl caught my attention first as we grew up with soft toys called ookpiks - and this was a similar soft toy. Seeing the rest of the menagerie I couldn't resist!

Bo Twal provides lovely, soft, handmade cloth dolls to children in underdeveloped countries.
Bo Twal is an international non-profit doll project. Needleworkers within the children's country are paid to sew the dolls and distribute them to the boys and girls. The program provides comfort to the children as well as income to the needleworkers. Funds to pay the doll makers are raised through the sale of doll patterns and kits. The first doll pattern for sale, the Bo Twal Sewing Smiles Doll, is the same pattern used by the international needleworkers when they construct the dolls to donate to the children in their country.
