ARMS
I sew seams before cutting out the arm
parts. After drawing the pattern pieces
onto a double layer of fabric, folded
with right sides together, I pin all
the parts together inside the lines.
The parts are already together, pinned
and ready to sew. Just sew on line you
drew. Be sure to follow pattern pieces,
noting areas marked “leave open”.
Gather the top edges of the sleeves,
adjust to fit the bodice, and hand
stitch to the bodice. Stuff the arms
and close the opening with the running
stitch. Insert the arms inside the
sleeves and hand sew the base of the
sleeves to the arms.
Place the shoes right sides together
(RST) and sew along the center front.
Sew one of the shoe pieces to each leg,
(RST). Sew center back of leg and center
back of shoes. Set in sole matching front
seam to A and back seam to B.
Stuff the legs and shoes and close the
opening with the running stitch.
Hand sew legs to the panties.
HEAD
Sew the darts in the upper part and in
the lower part of the head front.
With right sides together pin the two
front faces and sew (RST).
Mini Soft Rag Doll Pattern
Fold head front along the dotted
lines and sew the side darts A.
(See Step 1).
Right sides facing, sew two head
pieces together. Leave the opening
the neck. Turn right side out through
the opening and stuff. Hand stitch the
head to the body.
Have a look where would you like to
position the nose and make a mark
with the felt-tip pen.
Cut round shape (from craft velour
fabric – doll face), it can be
different sizes, depending how big
nose you want. Use a running stitch
to sew around the circle of fabric,
not too close to the edges. Insert
stuffing and pull the two ends
of the thread tight.
Push the stuffing in to form a ball
(if it looks flimsy, add more stuffing)
and tie two ends of the thread together
in a double knot. Sew it onto the head –
on top of your felt tip pen nose mark.
Glue the eyes and embroider eyebrows.

Mouth
To indent the corners of mouth, thread
a long dollmaking needle with strong
thread. Knot the end. Go into the back
of the head where the knot will
be covered by the hair. Emerge at one
corner of the mouth. Go back in just a
thread or two away and come out at the
back of the head. Pull on the thread
tightly, causing the corner of mouth
to dent into the fabric.
Make a knot. Repeat for the second
corner. Complete the mouth with the
embroidery floss (See Photo) of your
favorite color.

The Hair
Make several loops of yarn about 3″
long and sew to point along the bottom
hairline (see photo). Glue the hair
into the doll’s head.

SKIRT
Sew up the center back of the skirt,
(RST). Now gather the top edge of the
skirt and pin to fit waist edge of
bodice with right sides facing.
Stitch in place.
Hem skirt on lower edge. Fold the
skirt in half, right sides together
and stitch the center back. Finish
the back seam using zigzag. For the hem:
you can simply hem the skirt by folding
over 1/2″ toward the wrong side and
then again and stitch. Or finish the hem
by simply encasing it in bias tape, which
is what I did.
