It
doesn't take much to make this handsome Son of Frankenstein doll.
I just gathered up some:
| * black rick-rack |
| * orange,
green, and black fabric scraps |
| * white felt |
| * 2 green
buttons |
| * black yarn |
|
 |
Cut the
doll body pieces:
| |
| Arms:
Cut four 3"X4" from orange fabric |
| Legs:
Cut four 3"X4.5" from orange fabric |
|
Cut four 3"X1.5" from black fabric |
| Body:
Cut two 7"X3" from black fabric |
|
Cut two 7"X4.5" from orange fabric |
|
Cut two 7"X8" from green fabric |
|
 |
To make
the arms place two arms pretty sides together and pin around both
sides and bottom. Stitch both
sides and bottom using the pressure
foot as your guide. (1/4" seam allowance) This is the seam
allowance you will be using to make your doll. Make sure you leave
the top open. |
 |
Clip
corners. Stitch the other arm
in the same manner. |
 |
Turn arms
pretty side out. Stuff the
arms and set aside. |
 |
To make
the leg pin the black boot of the leg to the leg pretty sides
together. Stitch. Do this to
all four legs. |
 |
Place two
legs pretty sides together and pin in the same manner as the arms
leaving the top open. Stitch. |
 |
Turn the
legs pretty side out and stuff.
Set aside. |
 |
To make
the body pin the black head to the green face pretty sides
together and stitch.
Pin the orange body to the green
face pretty sides together and stitch.
Do this to both bodies. (front and
back) |
 |
Take
one of the full body pieces and make a face on your doll. For
mine, I cut out two different size circles from white felt and
sewed the green buttons on. But you can be as creative as you like
and try something of your own.
For the mouth I stitched on a small
piece of black rick-rack. For the hairline, I stitched a row of
black rick-rack on the seam where the face meets the hair. |
 |
Cut
pieces of black yarn and tape them on the pretty side of the face,
facing down and inside of the doll.
(Notice they are not sticking up, they
are facing down. They will automatically stick up once the whole
doll is sewn together.) |
 |
Pin the
arms to the inside as shown.
(They will fall in place once
everything is sewn together.) |
 |
Pin the
legs to the inside as shown.
(They will fall in place once
everything is sewn together.) |
 |
Place the
other body piece pretty sides together and pin around the whole
body as shown. Leave a 4" opening. I left mine on the side of the
doll's face. Stitch around
the doll pivoting at the corners. |
 |
Turn doll
pretty side out through the opening and gently poke out corners.
Remove the tape from the black yarn
and give your doll a good "hair cut." Stuff your doll and hand sew
the opening closed.
Your handsome "Son of Frankenstein"
doll is ready to welcome your guest for the Halloween season! |
