From the McCall's Golden Book for Children, 1953, an idea for someone small who is bored with other summer activities. Of course, you need to have a good old-fashioned round-topped pegs for this to really work. The kind you buy in a craft store won't do.
The book is full of ideas for children's crafts, and is available as a one-hour loan at the Open Library (You'll need an account, but it's free).

One grandmother taught us to had sew by making clothes pin doll clothes.
I was born in 1942, and I remember making dolls like this with Mum's clothespins. She had a bunch of brightly colored plastic pins, and I'd line them up and "play wedding". Mum had a rainbow wedding, and my Aunt Jean wore a bright red dress, so the red pin was always her. Mum was a pink pin, and I'd wrap it up in toilet paper to make her gown. I showed my girls how do to this as well, put peg-pins are really hard to find nowadays.
