Felt Friends Part #1

For this craft  you will need :

1.  felt

2. markers
3. thread
4. needle
5. scissors
6. pattern from HERE

First use the felt color you want for the skin. Fold it to double thickness and cut out the body pattern shape so that you have two.

It might be helpful to pin down your pattern when you cut it.

If you draw the face on first, it's easier than drawing it afterwards. I used permanent markers.

Then sew the body together, leaving a tiny bit of space to put some stuffing in. When I made this doll, I forgot to put stuffing in.

This is a doll I've already made. When you make the doll, it will probably turn out something like this.

In Part 2 I will show you how to make the clothing and how to add hair to the doll. You can get the clothing patterns at the same link from above.
