Gingerbread Rag Doll Body Assembly:
-

using the gingerbread man pattern. Click
Here to get the pattern now.
-
With wrong sides together, Pin both
gingerbread pieces together.
-
Stitch together 1/4 - 1/2 inch from
the edge with brown or black thread, using a sewing machine or hand stitch
using a Backstitch.
(Be sure to leave the opening on one side leg of the gingerbread man as
shown on the pattern.)
-
Important: Make small cuts in
the seam allowance (that is the portion of fabric between the seam and
the fabric edge) up to the stitching at all corners and around all curves.
(This helps the fabric to press out smoothly. Suggested marks for
these cuts are shown on the pattern.)
-
Turn the gingerbread man right side
out through the side leg hole. (A pencil head is helpful to push the fabric
right side out through the hole.)
-
Press all edges with your iron.
-
Gently stuff the snowman with poly
fill until he is just about 1/2 inch thick.
-
Stitch up the side leg opening.
-
Using 6 strands of white embroidery
floss, start a Running
stitch around the gingerbread man about 1/8 inch from the finished
edge.
-
Using black embroidery floss, 3 strands,
sew on the eyes using a Satin
stitch and the mouth using a Backstitch.
(approximate placement is shown on the pattern.)
-
Center two buttons on the front of
each snowman.
-
Stitch in place.
Gingerbread girl:
-
Cut out small circles from the red
felt to be her cheeks.
-
Stitch them in place just outside the
smile as shown on the pattern.
-
Cut a piece of lace that is long enough
to go around her neck.
-
Wrap the lace around her neck with
the two ends in front.
-
Stitch in place.
-
Tie two ribbon bows, one for the middle
of her collar and one for her head.
-
Stitch in place.
Gingerbread boy:
-
Cut a piece of white bias tape long
enough to fit around the neck.
-
Wrap the bias tape around his neck
so that the upper corners of the two ends meet in front.
-
Stitch in place.
-
Tie a black bow of ribbon.
-
Stitch in place.
If you would like to use them as hanging
decorations or ornaments, use a 6 inch piece of Embroidery floss, thread
it onto a needle, send the needle and floss through the top back of the
head once. Next, take the floss off the needle and tie the ends together
to form a loop hanger.
Done!
Makes a cute Mini Rag Doll Decoration
at Christmas time or use them
as ornaments for the tree or
to decorate a gift.
