Amazing job! Keep it up!

Have you ever made one from a pattern for yourself? There aren't any good videos on making a Raggedy Ann doll, and I'd love to see how it's done. Reading a pattern's instructions just aren't the same thing.

I did a search for Raggedy Ann and Andy on youtube this morning and was thrilled to see the 3 raggedys that I sent to you! I enjoyed your video VERY much! I wish you could join us in Arcola this week! Becky

@raggedysmile I so want to go but alas..oh well. Glad you liked the vid, The 3 Raggedys were fun to work with and are really now my "poster child" for my restoration work. Thanks again and glad you found my vid :)

you did/do amazing work...can you share any hints on how you got the stains out of the material? I'm fixing at starting to restore for my enjoyment, composite dolls...some of them are soft bodied...and the bodys are stained...any suggestions on cleaning the cloth? thanks!!

[themadmanbreen]

sorry to take so long/ hope you get this msg...on the Raggedys I actually had to paint dye the stained areas to match the "skin" color. I have also repaired composition dolls w/ cloth bodies myself . If the fabric is still strong and can b washed I hand wash in soapy water and bleach. If fabric is too frail and then I use old cloth body as a pattern and use proper vintage fabric for the "newer" body replacement.
