Holiday Crafting: Adventures With Ragedy Ann And Andy

Building on our post " Holiday Crafts To Fit Your Budget,"  today we're sharing the progress we've made in making the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls from the McCall's pattern we purchased for cheap at Goodwill. 
As we mentioned in the previous post, we'll be using only materials we already have to save money.  The materials include: 
  • Fabric
  • Coordinating Thread
  • Embroidery Floss (Black and Red)
  • Fiberfill
  • Buttons
  • Yarn For Hair
  • Fabric Paint For Face
  • Puffy Paint
  • 2 Snaps
  • Elastic
  • Duct Tape
  • Ribbon
  • Glue

Since we used fabric scraps, we first had to cut out the pattern to measure and make sure we had fabric scraps that were the right size to fit the pattern.  We also considered coordinating fabric patterns and colors.  These two factors made it a bit challenging to find a perfect fit.  In the end, we ended up going with a maroon textured fabric that already has a ruffle on the hem.  We'll use this for Raggedy Ann's skirt or apron.  Hopefully it will make it a bit more cute and girly than how it appears on the pattern cover.  We chose a flower print cotton fabric that coordinates with the maroon fabric to use for the dress.  Not quite sure how the pants fit into the equation yet but we chose a navy blue pin stripe fabric for those.

So far, we accomplished cutting out the Body Front and Back patterns, painting the face, and embroidering the heart and facial lines.  So far, so good.  Stay tuned for our next adventure with Raggedy Ann and Andy.  Till then, happy holiday crafting!
