Lots of Raggedies.
Posted on | September 1, 2010 | Comments Off on Lots of Raggedies.
I bit the bullet and finally purchased shelves to store and tidy up my fabrics. It took a full day of organising but I think the end result is definitely worth it. I can find fabrics at a glance and now am wondering why I waited so long to do it.
I wonder if my liking for red, white and blue fabric is also a link to why I like Raggedy Ann and Andy? There are lots of great patterns around for raggedies and I seem to have made quite a few of them.
These dolls are from Konfetti’s patterns and are named I Love Dolls and I Love Dolls Too!! They have loads of character about them and were quite easy to make. Annie has embroidered Annie buttons on her jacket and Andy has a teddy bear on his. I think I bought the tiny shoes in a supermarket, of all places.
The next raggedies are from a Lynn Hyland pattern from Lil Blokes Designs. They are named Rusty and Rita. Great to see good designs from Australian designers. Easy to follow instructions for these dolls too.
I enjoy having these dolls decorating my sewing room and adding a bit of colour on a drab, wet day.
