Hi BloggersFor as long as I remember, I have always wanted to make a rag doll. Over the years I have collected patterns, how-to sheets, pictures, but never actually got round to the actual making of it.
Until now that is ...
A couple of weeks ago I went to a ragdoll workshop run by Nicola at Halfpenny Home. For those of you in the local area, you must visit this shop - it's an 'Aladdin's Cave' for crafters. At an evening class I sat down with some fellow crafters to make a rag doll, expertly guided by Nicola.
I also made Amelia's clothes and her hair is made from embroidery thread. Making the clothes was like transporting myself back in time. I became interested sewing when my Grandmother helped me make clothes for my dolls. Sewing the skirt especially, I could have been 9 years old all over again.
I am very pleased with my efforts, since then I have also adjusted the pattern and made a boy rag doll for my son - I will supply a picture soon - it has no hair at the moment!
Watch this space for further developments. I am planning a really fancy dress for Amelia.
Until next time
Happy Crafting!
