Raggedy Rescue: Q & A #1

What do you do when a button eye is missing? How do you deal with rips in the face?

It’s the first Raggedy Rescue Q & A!

In this video, I’m taking some of your questions and comments and sharing what I can to hopefully help in your Raggedy Rescue adventure!

All opinions are my own and I’m always happy to learn! If you do it differently or have other advice, I’d love to hear about it.

Have questions I didn’t answer? Leave them in comments and I’ll help if I can.

As mentioned in the video, I primarily use McCall’s Crafts Pattern 8377. The pattern is out of print but you can find it on Etsy or Ebay. If you have sewing friends, it’s worth asking if they might have a copy. I’ve had several gems come my way from friends!

Other McCall’s Numbers for Raggedy Ann & Andy: 5499, 2447, 846, or 713 (10″, 15″, 20″ & 25″). The patterns include the doll pattern, clothing pattern, and instructions.

Simplicity pattern 8043* is in print and certainly less expensive in most cases, but I haven’t personally tried it yet. The clothes and dolls look almost identical to the older McCalls patterns. Simplicity owns McCalls now, but I do not know if their pattern predates the merger. If you’ve already compared the two patterns, please let me know.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions. ♥

I have a new page here on Sewhooked where I will be keeping a list of my favorite supplies. I listed the ones used in this video below, and you can see the full list here.
