[beautifuldays]

any help much appreciated!

Hiya beautifuldays,

You can download instructions and a pattern here www.sewing.circleofcrafters.com/freeragdollpattern.html

weewonderfuls have some great patterns here. The make along story dolls mean you can add to your DD's doll by making her new clothes for birthdays etc.
Or try a kit from here. They come with the fabric you need and full instructions, so make it even easier if you haven't made a doll before. And you can always adapt the pattern a little bit, using different fabric or making the face a little bit different if you want to put your mark on it.

HTH!

hey, don't buy one of those anchor kits gm linked to, they're rubbish

if you are new to sewing i'd start with a kit, i can recommend the anchor kits (got to really haven't i!, it was me who designed them )

or try [http://www.the-little-experience.com/_shop/_xcart/product.php?productid=89&cat=115&page=1 the little experience] their kits are beautifully put together, but my only hang up about their dolls is that the faces aren't as pretty as they could be

oops, link not working

the little experience

, I was going to name drop, LK, but I didn't know whether you'd be
Katy the doll is my first after christmas project, I can't wait to make her. And the instructions do really look idiot proof (and trust me, I am an idiot so I can spot idiot proof instructions a mile off!). Those little experience dolls do have quite ugly faces, and they are printed on for you stitch over so you can't change it. Unless you turned them round the wrong way and covered the 'face' up with hair. That might work.....

The anchor doll kits are on sale for £9.99 at get knitted dot com

oh bummer!, see, i'm in the bargain bin already
