Hi Everyone!
I've been wanting to offer this doll as a free pattern on my blog for a long time, and I just finally got around to it!
It's the last doll that I did for my LMP pattern line, and it really doesn't fit in well with the other patterns. I think she will be much more at home here in blog land! So here is the pattern for you!
I wish I could have done a tutorial, but I promise... this is just as good... it's VERY easy to do!
Download the instructions by clicking here: Download pattern_silly_girl.pdf and then download the template that you need by clicking here: Download template_silly_girl.pdf
I really hope you all have fun making this little gal! She really is as sweet as candy! I'll be making a flickr group to be posted later so we can post pics of the finished doll! Leave a comment and let me know if you liked her, or if you have any questions or need clarifications. And if you've never sewn before... you can do this! I've had several emails from others who have never made a doll, but made this one! So jump right in!
Thanks! ~Missy
UPDATE: I've added a flickr group... please post some pics so we can see!!
I've found your pattern on your website and am now addicted to making silly girls. Have made one myself and using the template my girls have done a rabbit, a bear and a silly girl each. We absolutely love them! Thanks sooo much for sharing! Am going to make some more as gifts for friends' babies!

I made this doll over five years ago. I assure you I didn't copy you, because I don't even know who you are... but it is because of copying that I haven't blogged for 6 months. Trust me... i don't copy... but I've had my share of copiers.

missy, if I wanted to make a few more dollies for sale (my friends are asking!), which pattern should I purchase from you? or is it okay to use the Lazy Daisy pattern?
thanks,
alex
