I want to apologize in advance for the pictures, they are really bad.

anyways, I was shopping for some fabric when in a charity shop window I saw the most amazing doll! I have a bit of a problem when it comes to mice dolls in charity shop windows, cos I just end up buying them and running down my money XD. anyways, she has lovely little glasses and those boots I always liked but could never find, and her outfit is gorgeous! but she was lacking that little something...
I read in a book about dolls that dolls in outdoors costumes look great in muffs. I had some black fur so, this is the result!

You Will Need (6 things)

  • your Doll
  • Lining Fabric
  • Cord Or Ribbon
  • Faux Fur or some other fabric
  • a sheet of Paper
  • Embellishment(s) (optional)

Steps (6 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    mesure how much the fabric will go round the hands- add seam alowences

  2. 2

    mesure how wide it's going to be- add seam allowances again

  3. 3

    now you can make these mesurements into a paper pattern, here's mine (with seam alowances). My doll is quite big, 44cm, so if catering for a smaller doll you'll need to downsize a bit!

  4. 4

    Cut one in fabric, one in lining.

  5. 5

    seam the short edges.to make your life a little easier later on, tuck the cord or ribbon under the seam to start with :)

  6. 6

    Now just sew the long edges and make a tube. Add a little something if you like. Then you're done. Hooray!!! XD
