Raggedy Rescue: Dressing Raggedy Ann (Making New Clothes with McCalls Crafts Pattern 8377)

Hello, my friends! Welcome back for a new Raggedy Rescue! This will be the final video for our Raggedy Ann.

We’re making clothes from McCall’s Crafts Pattern 8377. This 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 numerous 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 do let me know.

Next time, clothes for Raggedy Andy!

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