Sometimes I trim the hair, sometimes I don't. This isn't some wonderfully, fantastic doll, it's supposed to be whacked! Don't worry about perfection on this one! Hand stitch the hair in place along the stitching line on the yarn. Sorry about the fuzzy photo, if you look closely you can see the white stitching line that goes through the yarn to secure it. A wonderful variation on our Dammit Doll - learn to make this and get your frustrations out What you need.

Slip the yarn off your hand and use your sewing machine on a straight stitch to sew right through the middle of your yarn. The more open your hand is, the longer the strands of 'hair' you will have. Wrap about 10 wraps of Lion Brand Fun Fur (or whatever yarn you have in your stash) around you hand. Do the neatest job you can sewing up the seam. Hey guys Just a really quick little Vlog while I was in a crafty mood I made a Dammit Doll Wanna beat something up without going to jail Its so fun to j.

The photos I took of stitching up the open seam were terrible! Sorry about that. Stuff! I use some poly fill, but you can take apart an old stuffed animal and re-use the stuffing, or use pieces of quilt batting. I use a tube to help turning it right side out, but using a dowel or the eraser end of a pencil works fine, too. I also trim really close to the outside curving seams (you can see how close I clipped the seam around the head.) I clip everywhere there is an inside seam so rounded seams are smoother when you are done stuffing. Leave 2 to 3 open to insert the stuffing and turn the piece inside out. Place the other body piece over the piece with hair and pin them together, sew a ¼. You can see the little clips on the inside seams. Place them on the head of one of your body pieces and join them with a basting stitch, so they stay in place. Sew all the way around the doll and clip the seams. To start, you’ll need to print out the dammit doll pattern and cut out the pieces. The finished doll is about 9 inches tall and has a whimsical, colorful design that’s sure to bring a smile to your face. You’ll need some basic sewing skills and materials like fabric, thread, and stuffing. It makes it easier to sew around the curves smoothly. The dammit doll pattern is simple and easy to follow. Set your stitch length to 1.5 (or whatever a small stitch length is on your machine). Be sure the file format is compatible with printers (e.g. You can do it after, no worries, but it's easier when you don't have to bury the knot. When you’ve found an image you like, save the file onto your computer. Transfer the marks to the upper arm so you don't sew there.ĭammit! I forgot to sew on the face before I started sewing! It's easiest to sew the eyes and mouth on before you sew the doll together. I'm a fan of rotary cutters, but not when the curves are this tight!Īll cut out. Pin your pattern and cut out with scissors.
