Free pattern: New soft dolly pattern at Dolly Donations

Sarah at Dolly Donations has just posted a new soft dolly pattern for you to make and donate to children in crisis. This one is a wee bit more advanced than her first pattern, but it’s still a relatively easy doll to make. I like the look of the sleeves and pants legs stitched as part of the arms and legs, so this is the pattern I’ll be following for the Craft Gossip Dolly Donation Challenge. Go to the new pattern.
