Putting hair on cloth dolls

I have been having so much fun making dolls! I made a doll for my daughter Catherine this past Christmas but I wasn't real happy with the results.So before I sat down to make a doll for my daughter Rebecca I looked up info on the Internet about how to sew on doll hair. Here are pictures of my results.

This is a very good tutorial about how to attach doll hair.It's my favorite.

Here is a link for free doll patterns on Anneli's website:Dollchamber


Here is a link to a picture tutorial for making a doll wig: Wig Making for Dolls
I haven't used this method yet but it looks excellent!

Rag doll and felt foods

I had fun this Christmas making things for my kids.My ambitions were too big and I didn't start early enough though.I didn't get everything finished so I will be sewing up a few more presents.

I think one of my favorite items to sew was the little rag doll that I made for my daughter Catherine.I can't wait to get started on dolls for my daughters Rebecca and Ruby. I used Simplicity pattern 2809 ,
I bought my pattern on sale for a $1.50 at my local Joann fabric store.

My 12 year old daughter Elizabeth helped me make felt food for Catherine and Rebecca.We had fun staying up to all hours of the morning listening to Christmas music and cutting,stuffing and sewing felt food. I used Simplicity pattern 2445  for the fruit and veggies and free patterns from the internet for the snack foods.

Here are some links to free felt food patterns:
