Ugly Doll that is.

I have no idea why these ugly dolls are so cute, but the ones in the store are soooo expensive. I just can’t fork over that kind of money for a doll that will most likely have a hole in it by next week.

So I decided to make my own, and I took photos of how I did it in case you want to make one to!

Total Cost: About $4.00

I used Fleece Scraps, Black Thread, Stuffing, And a Button

Print up an image of the ugly doll you want to make:

Cut out two shapes for your pattern

Sew your shapes right sides together, leaving a small hole for turning. Turn to right side.

Use Embroidery Thread, fleece scraps, and a button to make the face

Stuff and Sew!

All Done!

By the way this would make a fantastic First Sewing project for children, because really….you just can’t mess up….the uglier the better!
