If you like to sew Raggedy Annies or other Whim/Prim/Country/Folk/Grubby cloth dolls... Then there's a simple but great idea of a swap out there. Even if you've never done one before- there's always a first time and I guarantee you- once you try one- you'll be hooked. *whispers* Just ask Aunt Pitty Pat.
Diana of Down Hidden Farm Lane is hosting this "Nakie Dolly Swap."
The deal is- you sew up a cloth doll body, limbs and head. All attached. THAT'S IT! Hence the name "nakie". You'll send it to your swap partner AS IS and they will create a "finished" doll with the body you sewed up. Ain't that a great idea? I think so too! You'll have a body sewn up by someone else and you get to make the face, do her hair, dress it up and embellish to your hearts content. I'm in! Are you?
Click on the link I provided above and send Diana an email and provide the information she asks and just wait for details on the rest.
I'm looking forward to this swap!
Annies Cupboard: scroll down and you'll see a couple of patterns available for download. You'll need Adobe Reader to access the file.
15" Pattern: I know the swap details are minimum 8 inches and maximum 14 inches. You can simply trim the torso and legs to shorten the overall length.
Another Free Pattern

This swap sounds like lots of fun. But I better not. I know I'm gonna wish I had, though.
What a clever idea for a swap!
That sounds wonderful, but I have to look at what I have going on swapbot.. I have some big items for private swaps I need to get done.. cool idea though.. imma bookmark it.
Hiiiiii, about the dishcloth, it takes a few hours if I can knit without being interrupted ; )
You've got an award! :0)
oh, that sounds like fun...I think I may have to join in on that one. ~ Be Enchanted ~ Hugs
