Raggedy Ann
I have been asked to make a Raggedy Ann doll. So I did. I decided not to make the dress and pinafore and pants. Instead I stopped at a thrift store and picked up some baby clothes for her. The dress matches her hair perfectly. That was pure luck. The little blue jeans are for a new born and they are a bit snug. I like the tom boy look. No pink or purple.
She's cute! I've never made a doll before but want to one day.
ReplyDeleteNot hard at all.
DeleteJust love her!! I would love to make one for my granddaughter, but the clothes always scare me off! I always longed for one as a child. Love the setting you put her in.
ReplyDeleteGo for it. The clothes were the easy part!
DeleteLove her. Great idea for the clothes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! She could even have a change of clothes, her own travel suitcase or backpack that she rides in if you are checking out items at the thrift store.
ReplyDeletePerfectly adorable! What machines did you make her on?

DeleteYour doll turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteShe is so beautiful! Perfect picture of my memory of what Raggedy Anne should look like! I love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had one when I was a child. When I started making these, I kept the first one I made. Nostalgia.
DeleteGreat work on the Raggedy Ann, and I love the Not Pink look. IIRC, the originals didn't wear lots of pink either(?).
