My daughter is in this Pippi Longstocking obesessed mode presently. I want to make her a doll, but really don't know where to start. Does anybody have any suggestions? I want to just make a rag doll she can drag around.

She is 3m so I was thinking ebroidered features for sure! Do you think I can use the Raggedy Ann pattern? Those are kind of long-limbed.

I agree, embroider the face and make long red braids! A raggedy ann type pattern would be perfect! Do you have a pattern?

| Yes, a raggedy ann doll pattern would be perfect and it would be very easy to make the legs longer! |

I don't have one June but hopefully I can find a freebie online. I am trying to use up my craft supply before I buy anything new. It is starting to take over the house!

Elizabeth,
I don't have a computer at home (only here are work) so I may not be back on until Monday or Tuesday but I think I know where it is.

I found 2 patterns, one is Holly Hobbie and the other is a very similar looking doll, just a much older pattern. Both have been used so I will make sure all pieces are in the envelope and maybe get a pic so you can pick which would work best for you. Will try to do that tomorrow but I'm glad your not in a big hurry.
