Here is the pattern I used for the boys. It can be enlarged to a full 8 1/2" by 11" page. I used safety eyes that can be purchased on amazon or at Joann's. I had my helpers embroider an upside-down triangle for a nose Then tied a bow on the neck. Depending on the ability of your helpers you can put the face in a small embroidery hoop and give them a threaded and knotted needle and let them stitch the nose. I penciled in the upsidedown triangle nose for them. Children can also stuff the bears pretty well and tie on the bows. Here are the pictures of the ones we did. This batch was donated to the philanthropic group Mothers without Borders for third world orphans. Made for foster kids by foster kids.

Note - this print can be personalised for any of the events which make up the UTMB. Simply specify which race is required in the instructions field as either: UTMB, OCC, TDS or CCC. For one week every year, Chamonix in the French Alps attracts runners from around the world to the world summit of trail running: the UTMB. The race schedule comprises events of varying distances over highly technical mountain terrain. Those who race have earned their stripes, having accrued entry points in previous qualifying events. Attempts to secure entry into OCC, TDS, CCC or the full-length Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc is a long-term project in itself. If you (or someone you know) has answered the call of the mountains, celebrate that achievement with this stunning personalised race print. Available in two different sizes and two colour options, it encapsulates the stark beauty of the mountains with never fading memories of crossing the finish line in Chamonix. Simply choose the race you completed and let us know your finish time and we will take care of the rest. All of our prints are made using archival quality, heavyweight paper.
So, theres this fun crafting project about making a rag doll, but we ran into a snag. We got the materials, the enthusiasm, but no sewing pattern. Its kinda tricky to start stitching without a guide, right? Need to find a solid sewing pattern thats both easy to follow and printable, so we can dive right into the fun part without guessing the steps.We came up with a handy guide for crafting your own rag doll with ease.
Sometimes crafting is more than a hobby, more than just "something to do" or even more than a personal business. Sometimes crafting brings joy to someone who needs it, someone who is going through much tougher issues than breaking a needle or running out of glue. Today I want to share with you a craft that I made for a very tough little girl, Emily. You see, Emily is a friend of mine's daughter and she was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer- Rhabdomyosarcoma. Scary stuff. She has been participating in chemo and radiation for several weeks and some of us have been wanting to help as much as we could. One thing I did was make a personalized felt dress-up doll set for Emily that she could carry with her on her many car rides, while at the hospital or at home. It's not much but as a young girl, I remember finding great joy in my felt dress up doll. Felt dolls are super easy to make. All you need is: - Felt (plus any additional fabric you might add) - Glue (if adding embellishments) - Fabric Scissors - DMC Thread & Needle A very talented blogger named Rachel shared a template for felt dolls on her blog Smile and Wave. Please do not use her template for profit... bloggers work hard to make these wonderful free things for us, don't mistreat that. You can find the free template here. Just print and cut. {What I Made} Instead of creating a standing board, I wanted to make a folding felt book that Emily could use to not only transport the doll and outfits but also use as the felt backdrop. Using some fun felt, I also cut out her name to make it extra special: I hand-stitched the edges with a contrasting color for a extra fun appearance. Then, I added some ribbon and a button so that the book could be closed up. Don't forget the heart above the "i"... why? Because as a little girl, I added hearts to everything! Since the entire book is made of felt, it can be rolled up as well. When it's opened up, there are flaps so that the clothes all fit without having to stack on top of each other. I made several outfits so I had to add a few of these flaps! And here is just a few of the outfits that I made... Some are formal, some are casual and some are just plan fun! That "superhero" outfit you see was made especially for Emily- since she is our little hero! Emily has been loosing her hair and I wanted to make sure that her doll would be able to have hair or not- depending on what Emily wanted. For the doll's face, I simply hand stitched a mouth and made some knots for the eyes out of DMC thread. This only takes a few minutes. I also cut out a variety of hair styles that could be swapped out (or she can go bald and embrace her superhero self!). Here is what the back looks like so that it can slide over the head: If you want to cut it straight across for visual reasons, go ahead. I think the triangle piece helps it stay in place well. {Ready for some DETAILS?!} It's all about the details! Maybe it's some Sequin, or tulle or just an extra special something... any way to add a special touch shows that some thought went into the project. 1. Fabric (Felt) Prints- There are some VERY CUTE felts in the stores now! I purchased some fun prints from Jo-Ann Fabrics and they only cost a few cents more than the plain colors. Worth every penny. 2. Matching Accessories- Again, this is only one example of the many ways that an accessory can be added. Love the matching hair pieces! 3. Hand Stitching- Whether it's a knot in the middle of a flower or adding some detail to a set of fairy wings, hand stitching adds a little special something. 4. Outfit-Specific Details- Speaking of the fairy outfit, don't forget the details like the little balls on the tops of the shoes! 5. Unexpected Accessories- Add a purse, sunglasses or a scarf to dress up any outfit! 6. Beading/Sequin Pieces- Take any spare craft material to make a felt outfit look a little more like something we might wear! 7. Extra Special Hair Accessories- Sure, flowers are cute but what is more fun than a princess tiara or a feathered headdress? {Your Turn!} I hope this post inspired you not only to create a fun little craft but to find meaning in what you are making. If you want to read more about Emily's journey, follow the website they set up here. If you wish to help the family along their way by offering prayers, words of encouragement or monetary gifts, please visit here. Happy Crafting, Kelsie Ann
