Ribbon Doll Tutorial


She's finished and I hope you will take advantage of the free instructions I am providing (see link below.) These include a full size pattern that you can print. For those of you who want the doll available to you in kit form, please visit my website (see link below.)

The kit includes the ribbon doll on a fabric sheet with light weight fusible interfacing ironed to the back, 2 yards of 1" silk satin ribbon for the skirt and 1/2yard of 1" wide lace for the skirt bottom and bonnet. Silk ribbon in 4mm and 7mm are needed but are not included. You may also want to add some seed beads. At present I have her in two colors with more to be added soon - as well as smaller versions.
