Abstract
This doll was created by Phyllis Meiklejohn (nee Kennedy 01/05/1935) who attended Kelvin Grove Teachers College on a full scholarship and graduated in 1955 as a Domestic Science teacher.
The following information has been provided by the Meiklejohn Family for historical accuracy and description of the items:
During her years at Teachers College, Phyllis Meiklejohn designed fashion drawings as part of her course. From one particular drawing she made a replica 80cm period doll by hand. Her siblings can remember Phyl working many hours over three months sewing on every sequin by hand, stuffing the doll and hand stitching the clothes. This is all remarkable considering that as a young child, Phyl overcame an eye sight deficiency caused by ‘sandy-blight’. Phyl’s father made a glass display cabinet for it. The doll was always a part of her life and her family, even travelling all around Queensland when her husband, Gordon was transferred in the Education Department. The family has now brought the doll a full circle and donated it to QUT.
