Hello my friends! Hope you had a wonderful week. Today I have a handmade mermaid rag doll to share with you. My daughter wanted me to make her a mermaid rag doll. Here is the one I created for her. This is my first ever rag doll that I sewn together with my sewing machine. :) Not bad for my first rag doll. This rag doll is 11 inches tall.
I used muslin white fabric for upper body of rag doll and dark green cotton fabric for mermaid tail. The bra is a small piece of felt .I sewed ribbon on bra so it could be tied on rag doll back. The rag doll hair was created with red yarn. I tied black ribbon in hair to create pony tails. To create rag doll eyes, nose and mouth I used black and red embroidery floss. Here is a close up of the hand sewn embroider face.
Here is a close up of mermaid tail.The rag doll pattern was hand drawn by me. There's all kinds of free rag doll pattern on the web. My daughter like her handmade rag doll and I do too. :) Come on over to Monday Handmade Linkup Party and linkup anything handmade including recipes.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful and fun weekend! :) Linking up to all the linkup parties here.
Judy this is just over the top cute. I love it as I know your daughter did. No one would have ever known this was your first. 2 Creative Chicks next challenge is to make a doll. Maybe you will have time to make a second one. lol Have a creative day.
