Still one of my favorites, Laura is the half-pint, high-spirited imp of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series. Dressed in a long calico dress, topped by a contrasting calico apron and bonnet to set off her braids, she is a classic in children's fiction and the icon of television viewing of five decades ago. We were proud that she was our best selling Butterick pattern in the 80's. Our three girls loved her.
