Red Riding Hood Doll

I had been wanting to make this doll for months, so it feels good to have finally made it.

The pattern and instructions came from the book We Make Dolls! Top Dollmakers Share Their Secrets & Patterns by Jenny Doh. It's called Red Riding Hood and was designed by Suse Bauer.

It was so nice that all of the supplies (fabric, felt, button, embroidery floss, stuffing) were basic, you know, what most crafty people already have on hand, so all of these came from my stash and no need for a trip to the craft/fabric store.

One thing I really liked about this craft book is that the pattern didn't need to be enlarged so I didn't have to make a trip to the copy machine.

This doll turns out kind of long, 18 inches!

Red Riding Hood is a little gift for a little person :)

Off to my next project...

I don't know who that little person is, because the doll will be traveling in one of those Christmas shoe boxes to an unknown destination and to an unknown child, but what we do hope is that the recipient feels loved :)

The red riding hood doll pattern was full sized, so I assume all of them are. That's the way I prefer them :)

An educated person has more chances to have good employment opportunity. He can be hired at high post in any organization. More educated he would be better salary would be given to him.
