Rag Doll from Prima Jan 2007

So cute! Adore her grey streaks.

Well done, it is great to finish something you started so long ago.

Next up to make a version for my friend E who is having a radical hysterectomy in Jan and is anxious about it.
I don't seem to have the peach fabric I used for the skin tone bits on the first doll, so think hers will need to be cream fabric (of which I have loads). I'll see which is the most tightly woven one though as my doll was fraying a bit which wasn't good.
E's doll will have all brown hair (I don't think the grey streaks would amuse her) and possibly a hospital gown as well as some other clothes to wear. As the dolls are the same pattern, I can use mine to test extra clothes out. Might be a fun thing for her to receive whilst recuperating.

That's very cute

Argh I have tidied up and cannot find the pattern anywhere!
This is very annoying indeed.

@SewRuthieSews  Your rag doll looks great. I thought I had the pattern but mine is Prima November  1997.  it doesn't give the size, but adding the bits together it looks  to come out about 40cm although it may shorten when it goes 3D instead of flat..  Mine has a T shirt and dungarees.  Yours has a nicer face - this one has a head made of 4 boat shaped pieces, with the face across the join.

I took this photo of the pattern pieces, so I can probably work out the scaling and print that photo out as a pattern.

I cobbled together enough pattern pieces from my print outs of the photos to make another doll.

This one was made from a cream fabric, so the poor girl is very pale. Her face was done with fabric pens rather than embroidery.

I made her a pair of lace trimmed PJs (the front has velcro behind the buttons), some felt slippers and a dressing gown with tie belt.

She’s got loads of personality and a great wardrobe!
