Prudence ITH RagDoll

$13.00

Little Miss Prudence is quite the proper gal with her crisp white collar and Mary Jane shoes.  The design and seams are all sewn in the hoop (ITH) of your embroidery machine with easy-to-follow photo instructions. Prudence is designed to be a play doll for children with her floppy arms and legs – just right for hugging and snuggling!

  • All designs and seams are stitched in the hoop of your embroidery machine.
  • Even the limbs are attached by the machine with an easy, step-by-step process.
  • Engineered to minimize shifting while you stitch
  • Requires 2 hoopings:  one for limbs and one for body/head.  (A third hooping for wig is optional)
  • Instructions included for making a skirt on your sewing machine.
  • The neck opening in the back of the doll can be hand-stitched or glued to finish the doll.
  • Can be made for small children, since there are no small parts or attachments that can be pulled off.
  • See details and supply list for more info

Supplies

These are the recommended tools and materials for this machine embroidery project

Tools

• Embroidery machine with 6×10 or 8×12 hoop or larger (instructions for 5×7 are a different document in your download)
• Sharp fabric scissors
• Hemostats for turning and stuffing the doll
• Long doll needle and strong thread for closing the seam openings
• Pins to hold the stabilizer firmly in the hoop (the T-pin trick)

Materials

  • Fabrics
    • Head, hand and leg fabric – less than 1/4 yard
    • Body & sleeve fabric – less than 1/4 yard
    • shoes and collar – felt or other non-fray material
    • (optional) skirt fabric 18″ x 4″
    • (optional) wig 8″ x 8″ faux fur

• Embroidery thread to match your fabrics (see note below)
• Polyester stuffing
• No-show mesh embroidery stabilizer, or similar lightweight cutaway stabilizer

Fabric NOTE: This project works best with woven fabrics, or well-stabilized stretch fabrics to prevent stretching. If using stretch fabric – cut-away stabilizer MUST be used on front and back to prevent distortion when stuffing the doll. TIP: use fusible stabilizer on stretch fabrics to stabilizer them. Shoes and collar are intended to be felt or other non-fray materials.
