Free Small Doll Sewing Pattern for Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes
Friday, October 18, 2013
I've had the pleasure of working with lots of lovely ladies all around the world donating Dolls made with my original Dolly Donations Free Doll Pattern to Operation Christmas Child. One thing we noticed was the 16inch 'huggable' size would have to be folded in half to fit in the shoe box and was taking up a lot of room. SO please meet my Free Mini Dolly Donations doll patterns!!!
The lovely Christine (USA) contacted me for help with filling 200 Operation Christmas Child Shoe boxes this year. She's heading the Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) group who are donating and packing hundreds of supplies to fill 200 Shoe Boxes for children in need this Christmas..... all that is missing from this box .... a warm snugly dolly to hug!
My lovely friend Karin From Australia is working with OCC this year too and had great fun sewing up the NEW Mini Doll Sewing Pattern for her boxes, and now you can too!!
"I am currently doing some volunteering at OCC - they insist that every box has "something to love" and it is the single thing that kids will refer to as their favourite bit of the box. I don't think I have to tell you about the power of dolly love!!!" Karin
If you would like to help please grab My Mini Dolly Donations Free Doll Sewing Pattern and sew up a few! They are quick, easy and use up all your scrap! Plus it comes with both long skinny fold-able legs for a 10 inch (26cm) dolly (see the girl dolly) or small short legs to make a 8 inch (20cm dolly (see the boy doll)!!
For those of you who own some of my Dolls And Daydreams Patterns my small dolls all fit perfectly into boxes too :)
Karin's favorites are Tiny Tot Dolls and my Big Boy Dino pattern reduced by 50% CUTE!
The lovely Karin who stitched up the dolly above has been donating to OCC too, and sent me these wonderful photos.
She reduced my Big Boy Dino pattern by 50% , and simply sewed it up using the pattern as is with no seam allowance added.
No re-sizing needed simply click and Download the New Mini Pattern HERE!
