The finished Raggedy Ann using the pattern below. |
Just the other day, I had been reading Raggedy Ann to our little people. And the children decided they wanted something to do. So we decided to make our own raggedy dolls with muslin scraps.
We gathered cotton, muslin, buttons, yarn, watercolor paints, needle and thread, and flowered calico. I cut the pattern, body and head in one piece.
Below is the diagram and dimensions. The pattern allows a seam, with stitching on the dotted lines. Leave the ends open to stuff. Close seam at end of body after stuffing. Sew on the stuffed arms and legs.
Sew two shoe-buttons on the face for eyes, and draw the nose and mouth with good black pencil or trace carefully with ink. Paint the cheeks and shoes red with water colors, red wax crayons, wet red crepe paper, or red ink. Sew brown, red or black yarn in loose loops all over the head, closely.
Then cut the loops in two, making her scraggly hair. Make her a dress and apron as you would for your other six-inch dolls. Now you have a sweet little doll who can tell her own stories about doll adventures in the playhouse or nursery!
The Free Pattern for Raggedy Ann and Andy measures approximately six inches when finished.
