Before I started refinishing the table and chairs, I thought I was going to visit my nieces for their birthday. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing and I was going crazy trying to think of what I could make them that I could finish quickly! My neighbor had shown me a rag doll that she made her nieces for Christmas and I thought I would attempt it. With the help of my very domesticated mom-in-law we got two dolls done in one day! They were a lot of fun to make and we later made four more. Unfortunately, I was not able to make the journey to their house but the dolls did.:)
There are a few things that I would do differently the next time; one, I would make my pattern (for the arms and legs) fatter so that I could get a better seam allowance and not have them be too skinny, two, I would sew the legs closer together (it looks cuter) and hand stitch the side instead of the bottom.
P.S. I found the doll pattern at
