Booxing Week Sale Save Ten Percent Pre Printed Girl and Boy Doll DIY

Description

All of Boxing Week this will be on sale. Save ten percent (minus the shipping). Just convo me before you purchase and I will amend the listing for you.

This is a set of dolls a girl named Amanda and her friend or brother. She with her brown eyes and braids and he has blue eyes and sailor's blues and show boat hat.

I bought these some years ago in a thrift shop precut and planned to make them into a gift for a neighbor's daughter's birthday.
My son was mortified he had to go to her party and that it was not a purchased gift. (if mom made it then it wasn't a gift. But he had no idea I had made another doll and used that one instead.

These doll panels have been moved half way across Canada a couple of times and even more!
I've had them for twenty years I think. My son is now 26!

They came already cut out and with no instructions. I worked at that time in a fabric store and knew how easy they would be to sew up in a jiffy.

They are both 18" tall and 9.5" wide. That's 45cm. X 24cm. wide. Their width will depend on how thick you stuff them.

All that has to be done is pin them together right sides together and stitched, from a certain spot all away around
to leave an opening big enough to get your hand with a mitt full of stuffing and keep filling up the doll until it takes shape. It's usually much easier to sew the opening closed by hand.

Then repeat to complete the other doll. Now you have a gift for Christmas done! This would be perfect for a small child to drag around because it could be thrown in the washer and dryer.

Or another gift idea is for your young recipient who was getting a sewing machine for Christmas. Give these and a card with a promise of a few lessons and your one gift becomes two or three gifts!

I am going to list only two destinations for shipping but if you are interested please get hold of me and I will get you a shipping price.

Thank you for visiting junquete's variety shop!
