Beautiful job on the doll and the clothes. She must be wearing a size 3 by now? LOL

Raggedy Ann looks terrific in her new outfit! The colors are so pretty, I'm sure it will be a big hit!

Yes. I made it 3 years ago for her birthday with a cute, blue polka dot dress. The doll's been loved so much that she's undergone 2 surgeries to reattach arms and hair. :lol:

I dearly love it! I used to have some of the fabric that the pinafore is made from. You did a very nice job! Love Raggedy Ann!!!

I am currently working on a Raggedy Ann and Andy. I was shocked at the price of the pattern at JoAnns so waited till I got a 50% off and still had to pay too much. Will post it when I get done.

I bought my pattern at Wal-Mart and then traced all the pieces onto stockier kraft paper so that they would keep for years. It takes about half a day to do that to patterns but it keeps them longer than the frail tissue paper and I don't need to cut away larger sizes, which will be useful later, to get to the smaller sizes. If I trace each size, then I'll have them for when my kids reach the larger sizes and won't have to rebuy the pattern for each size. I don't duplicate for others, though, for copyright purposes, so I don't think it's wrong to do so.
