December 10, 2014 by FaveQuilts

Today is Day 3 of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway. You can enter each day to win the prize of the day! Contest rules and how to enter are below.

12 Days of Christmas

Today’s Project

On the third day of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway, my true love gave to me … a Made to Love Vintage Doll from Coats & Clark.

Made to Love Vintage Doll

MATERIALS

  • Coats and Clark Dual Duty XP All Purpose Thread to match fabrics
  • Coats and Clark Dual Duty XP Heavy Thread to match muslin
  • E & P Coats Embroidery Floss, black, blue, brown, red, and pink
  • Red Heart 4 ply yarn for hair, approximately 16 yards
  • Muslin, ¼ yard
  • Polyester fiberfill for stuffing

TOOLS

  • Water soluble marking pen
  • Hand Embroidery Needles
  • Embroidery hoop, 6”
  • Crayon, light pink

INSTRUCTIONS

All seams allowances are ¼” unless otherwise noted.

  1. Trace and cut out body pattern pieces. Print templates here.
  2. Before cutting head and body piece trace facial features to a 6” x 12” piece of muslin with a water soluble marking pen.
  3. Embroider features using J. & P. Coats Embroidery Floss. See here for illustration.  Remove any markings with a damp cloth. Allow to dry. Highlight cheeks with a pink crayon.
  4. Pin pattern pieces to muslin. For the head and body match facial features to the paper pattern. Pin and cut. Transfer pattern markings on leg as noted.
  5. Right sides together sew body pieces. Back stitch at the beginning and end of seams. Leave a 2-inch opening on the bottom of body for turning. Leave an opening at the top of arm and leg pieces for turning. Trim corners and clip curved edges before turning.
  6. Stuff body parts with polyester fiber fill. Use small bits of stuffing at a time. Stuff the body pieces until firm. Be sure to get stuffing into all corners.
  7. Turn in raw edges on body, arms, and legs. Overcast the edges together with small, close stitches.
  8. Use Coats and Clark Dual Duty XP Heavy Thread to assemble doll. Attach arms to body with small overcast stitches. Align upper arm with top shoulder edge. Place the arm with thumb facing upward. See here for illustration.
  9. Sew legs on to body with small overcast stitches. With outside leg markings facing outward place legs flush with hip bottom.  See here for illustration.
