Plain Ol' Rag Doll

I've been working on a project since this last July...a rag doll. Just a plain one, maybe a little long & skinny, but really basic.  I messed around with the shape a little, and made a few for the August doll show this year...finished one and gave it to my June-Bug when she was here.  The rest of these will have faces--so I can illustrate different ways to finish them in the pattern when I list it on Etsy.

The pattern for Plain Ol' Rag Doll will include drawings for the face to use for painting or embroidery, and a nightie / bonnet combo.  Later I'll list a pattern for various dresses to fit the doll, so she can have something besides sleepwear, should her Mistress desire to make her a wardrobe.

Night-night.

For now, I like them without faces.  Not sure why that is, but I think their body-language is louder this way.  The clothing they're wearing in the photos is (all but one) made up of things I've picked up here and there at doll shows--it's amazing how easy these gals are to fit!  The doll is 19" tall, but being so slender, she doesn't feel like a "Big" doll.

  I'm hoping to get the faces done and photos ready for a listing in my Etsy store next week.

Cat and dog lap-warmers not included...sorry.  Ciao!  

Schultz and Willie are helping me sew Izzy hands at the moment, but there's a rag doll right next to me, and a giant box of stuffing at my feet.  Such wonderful helpers I have!
