Free pattern: Soft doll you can make for charity

July 23, 2013 by Anne Weaver

dollpatternYou can find a free pattern for this soft doll over at Simple Simon & Co. .  Her dress has a removable skirt and a Peter Pan collar.  They’re providing the pattern and tutorial as part of their Skirting the Issue series that encourages their readers to make handmade items to donate to charity.  A soft doll would certainly bring a smile to the face of a child!  Go to Simple Simon & Co. for the pattern and tute.
