Sindy and Patch

Awombleforever – Well ,we were very poor when I was young so I don’t remember having a sindy doll but I do remember getting patch her little sister one xmas.I had a puppy at the time though and guess what happened,yes you guessed ,he chewed her hands off ,I went mad at him poor dog but I was so upset. If I remember rightly she had blue denim dungarees or jeans with a red gingham shirt on and short dark hair,very tomboyish .

Slayed – Hi Wombleforever
I only had 2 Sindy dolls in the early-mid 60s – I never knew about Patch and Paul until it was too late and I was deemed too old to play with dolls, but I have truly made up for that in the last year!!
I now have two 60s Sindys, two Patches, one 60s Paul and loads of 70s and even 80s Sindys!!
I have some pics I can share with you of my Pedigree lot if you’d like. Luv Anita xxx”

Awombleforever – Hi Anita,that could be cool ,not sure whether you could post on this site ,or I can give you my email address in a PM.Thanks.

Slayed -Hi Womble
PM me your Email Addy and I’ll post you some pics there to save Forum space!! We can just chat about the dolls here perhaps!! Luv Anita XXX”

Lainybins – My Sindy was the one with blue/grey denim jeans and a red, white and blue horizontal stripey top. My grandmother used to knit and crochet her all the latest fashions so she was quite a trend-setter in her day. One Christmas I was given a Sindy horse ~ my pride and joy! I used to fill the nose-bag with pearl barley and, because the horse had an open mouth and was completely hollow, every so often I had to shake the pearl barley out. Sindy horse eventually broke a leg and my older brother said we would have to shoot it. But thankfully Dad got the Araldite out and all was well. Phew!

Rennie – *laughing* It could still do dressage I suppose.”

Lainybins – Strangely, for a toy I loved so much, I can’t recall what happened to Sindy horse (yes, I’ve looked under the bed and he ain’t there !). He probably ended up in a tin of Pedigree Chum…

Glittergal – I had a Sindy doll, a Lovely Lively one, with lovely brunette hair

Glam-Rockette – I had a Tressy doll and her hair grew – anyone else have one?

Soulsister – Yes i had a Tressy, got her at christmas and was really impressed with her hair that pulled out of the middle of her head,when you pressed a button on her tummy! Although she soon lost the ability to take it back again!

I started building Escape in 2005 and in it’s early form I had the pleasure of a great 70s community. Sadly with Escape’s new design we couldn’t incorporate the old threads into the new forum but so we don’t lose all those magical old chats we’ve collected them all here for you to go back and read.
