How to Accessorize Your Homemade Rag Doll

Look at pictures or samples of rag dolls. Do you want your rag doll to have any particular style of clothing? Do you want your rag doll to wear a dress or pants and a shirt?

Use fabrics like calico and muslin to make clothes for your rag doll. Look for suitable fabrics in your own stash of scrap fabric or in the remnant bin at your local fabric store.

Go through your old clothing items before give or throw them away. Even items that are ripped can be used to make doll clothing. You only need a small amount of fabric.

Remember your rag doll when you do any home sewing for yourself or your children. When you make an item of clothing, use the scraps to make an identical item for your rag doll.

Use carefully placed accessories ' clothing, hats and shoes - to camouflage any flaws that may exist in the homemade doll.

Step back in time. Do a little research and dress your rag doll in clothing items from a particular era. Look for information on what the popular adult and children's fashions were and duplicate them for your doll.

Measure your rag doll and look for ready-made doll clothing that will fit. If your free time is limited, this is a good alternative to homemade doll clothing.
