Today I talk about last week’s livestream, getting my Juki back, a finally finished Raggedy Ann, my GIANT thrift store fabric haul, and our upcoming TTMT Internet Sampler Block of the month!
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. ♥
Looking for a different video. Check out all of my Raggedy Rescues here!
I have a brand new page here on Sewhooked where I will be keeping a list of my favorite supplies. I will list the ones used in this video below, and you can see the full list here.
Clover “Chacopy” Tracing Paper – great for transferring circles and other shapes on fabric. Test first to make sure it will wash out of your fabric.
Creative Grids Rulers – these are my favorite quilting rulers and I use them for marking when making doll clothes. Find them at your favorite quilt store. Beware buying from Amazon as they have had a lot of issues with counterfeits.
This time we journey from filthy to clean and mended with the Raggedy Andy found at Austin Creative Reuse. He will go with the Ann I’ve shown in previous videos.
Next up: clothes!
I was sick during part of the recording of these clips so the video has a voiceover, which was a new thing for me to try. You can also mute it and watch with captions if you prefer.

Today on TTMT, I do a little post-BFF retreat roundup, share my Talk to Me Tuesday swaps both sent and received, and announce a little giveaway for my viewers!
This time, we’re mending facial features, adding stuffing and a brand-new heart, and doing minor mending. By the end of this video, this little Anne will be ready for the next step…clothes!

Hello, my friends! I’m back this week with six more finished quilts, finally wrapping up the backlog of charity quilt tops sent to me by friends. I no longer accept donations personally and encourage you to find somewhere local to you for future donations. All quilts shown will be donated through Project Linus in Albuquerque during an upcoming visit with Jewells!
I also share a couple of other odds and ends, including some Cricut crafts.
Hello, friends! I’m back this week with eight more charity quilt finishes, two of mine, and six from other TTMTers. All of these quilts are destined for Project Linus in Albuquerque, NM during an upcoming BFF visit!
The first two quilts were made by me from donated orphan blocks, Mermaid quilts were made by Kristel, baby animals by Susan P, and scrappy quilts by Sarah in Houston.
All 8 quilts were free-motion quilted by me on my Grace Q’Nique 15R. My little Singer 301 got a workout doing binding, so much so that I’ve had to order a part for the bobbin case!
This week I share the matching sewing machine covers I made for my sewing room. I LOVE how they turned out and am so happy I finally tackled this project. Believe it or not, it’s been on my To Do list since 2019! Mark this one DONE. ♥
The machines I made covers for are a Brother PE770 (2016), Baby Lock Celebrate (2022), Juki TL-210Q (2015), and a Singer 301 (1952).
This week I share eight finished charity quilts destined for Project Linus in Albuquerque. I also have a couple of fun things to show from a package of goodies from Jewells, new-to-me Raggedy Ann goodness, and a sneak peek of my swap!
