For the example I made, I stitched some lace onto the skirt (where piece C meets Piece B)and attached a bow button on the side of the face.<br /><br />Assembling the doll: Take one side of the doll and lay it right-side up. Place arms into position using marked arm guides. Arms should be pointing inwards and downward.<br />Base or pin arms in place. Place legs into position with toes pointing in whatever direction you choose. Baste or int into place. See Diagram on the instructions you printed out.<br /><br />Take the other side of the doll and lay it on top with right-side down so that right sides are facing each other. Pin in place ensuring both all edges line up. Stitch around the doll using 5mm seam allowance and leave an opening as marked on the pattern.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847144500726617964.post-5896045016325149582009-11-15T22:38:00.002+10:002009-11-15T22:43:26.163+10:00Work In Progress Pics<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dPwW0EXfS78/Sv_3SrGk1jI/AAAAAAAAAFE/sJe8R_XIkpI/s1600-h/melrubydoll.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 151px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dPwW0EXfS78/Sv_3SrGk1jI/AAAAAAAAAFE/sJe8R_XIkpI/s200/melrubydoll.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404309978047895090" /></a><br /><br /><br />Mel emailed me a picture of her WIP - Looks Great!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847144500726617964.post-33907236571916100212009-11-12T19:51:00.004+10:002009-11-12T20:14:58.602+10:00Ruby Doll Craft-Along Step 2 - Week 2Step 2 Head & Body: For one side of the doll, with right sides facing, sew Piece A to Piece B using the tabs as a guide ( use the dotted line as the seam guide when joining the two pieces). Then with right sides facing, sew one piece C to the bottom of Piece B. Again use the tabs as a guide. Repeat for the other side of the doll. Press/iron down seams.<br /><br />FACE: At this point you should have two head/body pieces, two (stuffed) arm and two stuffed legs. You may want to attach the face (Piece F) or after the doll has be assembled. Position the face in the centre of the head. To attach, use the stitch of your choice and simply stitch around the face. ALso stitch on the cheeks ( piece G) and embroider eyes and mouth ( Don't be afraid to try different expressions!). I also cut a small piece of small felt for some hair.<br /><br />Here is a Pic of what i have done - I did not add cheekys<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dPwW0EXfS78/SvvdGfkQo-I/AAAAAAAAAE0/_xlWagz2YNc/s1600-h/P1070659.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dPwW0EXfS78/SvvdGfkQo-I/AAAAAAAAAE0/_xlWagz2YNc/s200/P1070659.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403155281583580130" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dPwW0EXfS78/SvvewOuByrI/AAAAAAAAAE8/_SCMWLvy_FI/s1600-h/P1070667.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dPwW0EXfS78/SvvewOuByrI/AAAAAAAAAE8/_SCMWLvy_FI/s200/P1070667.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403157098127280818" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847144500726617964.post-4667688511218454712009-11-05T19:42:00.005+10:002009-11-05T20:10:59.889+10:00Ruby Doll Craft-Along Step 1 - Week 1Step 1<br /><br /> Trace each of the labelled pieces onto paper and cut out.<br /> Trace or pin the pieces to your chosen fabric and cut out the specified number for<br /> each piece. Note that pieces A, B, C, E & E already include a 5MM seam Allowance.<br /> Arms & Legs: With right ides facing, sew the arm pieces (piece D) together using a <br /> 5MM allowance so that you end up with 2 separate arms. Then turn right side out and<br /> stuff each arm. Once stuffed Stitch the opening closed.
