This is my latest project. My good friend is having a little girl in May, so I thought a rag doll would be a really great handmade gift for her. And gee, having 2 boys, I really had to twist my own arm to do some "girly" crafts for her! The project itself actually was really easy. I had a Raggedy Ann from when I was a child, that I used somewhat as a guide, since I hate using patterns so much! So, I just sat down, thought it through and started sewing! It is a little more "gardeny" than I would have liked, but I was trying to use up some old fabric scraps rather than go by new! I am thinking about making another one for another friend, and if I do it again, I think I will use more modern colors. Maybe black, hotpink and purple! I also really want to try doing some brown or yellow pig tails on the next one instead of the traditional red hair. And I won't miss tying all that hair on there, that was the biggest pain in the butt of it all!
All in all, she turned out really cute. I hope my friend new daughter loves it. I made sure it was 100% baby safe, no buttons, ties, etc. So she will actually be able to play with it when she is a bit older!
