Raggedy Rescue: Q & A #1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- I do not take commissions or special orders. This is a hobby for me and not a job. The intention of these videos is to help others with repairs. ♥
What do you do when a button eye is missing? How do you deal with rips in the face?
It's the first #raggedyrescue Q&A!
In this video, I'm taking some of your questions and comments and sharing what I can to hopefully help in your Raggedy Rescue adventure!
All opinions are my own and I'm always happy to learn! If you do it differently or have other advice, I'd love to hear about it!
Have questions I didn't answer? Leave them in comments and I'll help if I can.

Supplies I Love includes a compiled list of everything I use to work on my dolls:

As shown in the video, I primarily use McCall's Crafts Pattern 8377. The pattern is out of print but you can find it on Etsy or Ebay. If you have sewing friends, it's worth asking if they might have a copy. I've had several gems come my way from friends!
Other McCall's Numbers for Raggedy Ann & Andy: 5499, 2447, 846, or 713 (10", 15", 20" & 25"). The patterns include the doll pattern, clothing pattern, and instructions.
Simplicity pattern 8043* is in print and certainly less expensive in most cases, but I haven't personally tried it yet. The clothes and dolls look almost identical to the older McCalls patterns. Simplicity owns McCalls now, but I do not know if their pattern predates the merger. If you've already compared the two patterns, please let me know.

That little Andy doll is so precious! I love his puppy shirt! You did a great job.
Thank you!
I love your videos so much ❤❤❤How you go out of your way to help those poor dolls and give them a chance to live a second life is so amazing!
Thank you so much! It brings me a lot of joy to save them. ❤️
Thanks for answering my question and the others too. I have learned so much. I am definitely keeping my eye out for a rescue myself ❤️
It was my pleasure and I am so pleased you found it useful. ♥️
I love this video.
Thank you! ☺️
Enjoyed your video as always, such a heartfelt labor of love.. such a wealth of knowledge on the restoration on these treasures… Jennifer..
Thank you so much for the kind comment! Working on these dolls really has brought me a lot of joy and I love getting to share. ♥️
The video made total sense and I thoroughly enjoyed it! 🥰 I didn't grow up with Raggedy Ann/ Andy, but we had our version of raggedy doll (who's a very spunk, talkative, and full of mischief character). Anyway, I'm inspired to maybe make one, at least be one the lookout for a rescue and/or pattern!
Thank you for being interested in my fun little hobby! ♥ I think Raggedy Ann & Andy were traditionally a North American phenonmenon and I love hearing about the dolls that were popular in different cultures. :)
@@sewhookedjen In Brazil, our raggedy doll is called Emilia. She ate a "talking pill" and would not stop talking after that! She lived on a farm with Visconde de Sabugosa (another doll made of corn husk), who was super knowledgeable - he lived IN the library. There were many other important characters in the farm (Sitio do Pica Pau Amarelo -- Yellow Woodpecker Farm), humans and folklore. The two kids would visit grandma (where Emilia and Visconde de Sabugosa lived) every summer and they all engaged in adventures that included all sorts of Brazilian folklore figures and even Greek mythology at some tme (I remember being very scared of the minotaur). Amazing stuff. I can't even describe the richness of the characters and their adventures. Besides the books, there was a TV series that lasted for many many years (I don't know if it's still running), so the adventures went way beyond the original ones. There's some controversy about the original author, Monteiro Lobato, being racist... but I guess it's one of those situations where it's tough to judge artists from yesteryears with todays values. I don't know.
@@claudiafigueiredo7969 I love this, thank you so much for sharing. I looked Emilia up, she's such a colorful character!
What color red yarn do you use?
Hi there! The dolls that have bright red hair used Red Heart Cherry Red.
do you have a raggedy ann/andy doll assembly tutorial?
I do not have an assembly tutorial at this time. It is on my very long list of things to do!
@@sewhookedjen thank you. your clothing tutorials have saved me a lot of grief!
@@oltlxtina I'm so happy you found them useful!
