Cloth Doll Sewing Pattern, Country Rag Doll with Raffia Hair Step by Step PDF Tutorial Digital Download
There are dolls that come and go with trends…
and then there are dolls that stay in our memories.
Bonnie B. was created to bring back the charm of traditional handmade cloth dolls, once very popular and deeply loved. Many years ago, making your own doll was almost a small ritual: choosing fabrics, lace, ribbons and turning simple materials into something unique and personal.
With this illustrated tutorial, I wanted to reintroduce that feeling.
Because sewing dolls by hand never truly goes out of style.
Bonnie B. has a sweet country look with a romantic vintage touch.
She is perfect to sit on an armchair, on a wooden chest, or in a cosy corner of the bedroom, adding warmth and character to your home. Her curly hair is made with natural raffia, but it can also be replaced with wool yarn, depending on your personal taste.
The dress, apron and bloomers are finished with cotton lace, while the bandana and the soft stuffed flower allow even more creative freedom.
By changing colours, fabrics and combinations, your doll will look different every time.
