Super cute! If you make extras, don't forget nursing homes. My mom received a Raggedy Ann doll as a present, and not only did it decorate her room, but she slept hugging her doll, every night. :)

Right now, I'm learning embroidery and I'm starting with making the face for a doll that I want to look like a specific Star Trek character. It's really fun, and watching your videos is helping me learn a few things before I finalize my first project. As for animals, I have a soft spot for ducks and would totally buy a pattern for a cute baby duck doll. It would be so cute with a little tuft of hair with a bow like this one, and also with the diaper and clothes. You could also embroider the nostrils on the beak. Would make a fabulous Easter gift.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m a beginner sewer and I am going to try and make one of these for my 2 year old! You explained everything so well🥰

Excellent instructions. I am an experienced sewer but haven't sewn much for awhile. I have a new machine and wanted to sew something that would get me used to the machine. And be fun. And a new baby willl soon be part of the family so will send this to her.

I really love all your tutorials and very creative and useful patterns. You’re very talented. Ok, so like I have been sewing for let’s say for many, many years and I have just 1 very simple suggestion as far as the transferring of the face details. How about taking the outside body fabric, after you cut it out and before you baste it to the flannel body part and trace the details by putting the paper pattern under the fabric, trace it on w/frixion pen or even a #2 school pencil (very lightly), then baste the two pieces together and carry on with all the next steps. (By the way, pencil is ok to use, embroider right over it and it will not show through your stitches and pencil will fade with all the handle lint of it while stitching, ). Hope this eliminates any people who has trouble drawing these types of features onto doll faces. Keep up the great work that you are doing. Thanks so much. Mary

An easier way to copy the face is to put the face (paper/drawing) underneath the fabric, draw the face and then baste the fabric to the flannel

So very cute, my granddaughter is eight almost 9 and she loves to sew so I’ve been looking for videos like this to send her! Thank you!

This was so much fun to make.
I also made ruby today, i learned what not to do when making her hair, oooh my i had a tangled mess, i didnt following instinct very well 😩
I used a friction pen to do face markings for embroidery, that worked perfect! I wasnt happy with first one i did so i just hit the iron on it and started over Very fun to make!
The lil clothes are a a new experience for me, my grandmother use to make tiny things. Its a learning curve for me. Im sure with each time it will be helpful to learning what to or nor to do.

Omg they are so cute. I just order the pattern so I could make it for my new born niece. Thank you for sharing

[karenhickey]

I was amazed at how much those Hemostats helped with stuffing the doll. I’m just finishing up my first one. Love your channel & your patterns. Thank you for the tutorial. Super helpful.
I’d love to see more tutorials on your dolls sometime.

Watched this with my almost 2 year old daughter and she kept singing "baby baby baby" while watching! I'm going to make her some dolls for her birthday!!

I just made my first doll and it was so easy and cute. Instead of using flannel, I ironed on interfacing to the head part. Worked out great. I posted a Pic of the doll in the watermelon dress
