Raggedy Rescue: Q & A #2 - Questions from Comments!

UPDATE: Please use any suggestions or techniques from these videos with caution as I can't guarantee your doll is made exactly like the ones I'm showing here. There is always risk when washing a doll, so do it at your own risk. In general, I only work with handmade dolls, and their construction can vary widely. If you're washing a doll with hair and embroidery, it's always a good idea to check the colored fibers for color fastness first. Raggedy Ann & Andy rescues are my hobby and I do not take commissions. The intention of these videos is to help others with repairs. ♥ Happy rescuing! Questions from the comments answered! Dogs eating button eyes, how to dry a 3' rag doll, and more! It's #raggedyrescue Q&A #2! 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 have a question I didn't answer, or a tip or trick, please leave it in comments. For all of my Raggedy Rescue videos:    • #raggedyrescue Tutorials (Raggedy Ann & Andy)   Supplies I Love includes a compiled list of everything I use to work on my dolls: https://sewhooked.com/supplies-i-love/ Mentioned in this video: The dolls I have rescued that don't come from friends or local thrift shops I've purchased from shopgoodwill.com. Search "raggedy" Depending on your preference, you can choose from a wide variety of doll stuffing. I suggest searching for "doll stuffing +content." For example: "doll stuffing cotton" Carbona Stain Devils Stain chart - which product to use on what kind of stain (including mildew!) https://carbona.com/wp-content/upload... Safety Eyes - available with and without shank backs! I mentioned in the video that you can cut off the back, but if you're specifically looking for an eye to glue on, you can buy them that way. You learn something new every day! Amazon has a wide variety. You can also find doll eyes in much smaller quantities at your local craft store. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=safety+eye... Embroidering on an already stuffed doll    • Raggedy Rescue: Clean And Mended Andy   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 can be less expensive, 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. The Raggedy Ann & Andy clothing pattern shown in the video is vintage 3002 McCalls Sewing Pattern for 15", 20", & 25" dolls. I found mine on Ebay. ♥SUPPORT MY FREE CONTENT♥ • Comment, Like, Subscribe! • https://ko-fi.com/sewhookedjen ♥FIND ME♥ • My personal website for free patterns & more - http://sewhooked.com • Cats, Quilts, Crafts & More!   / sewhookedjen   • TTMT Craty Vlog Community http://talktometuesday.wordpress.com • Free fandom quilt patterns and events: http://fandominstitches.com All Music by Kevin MacLeod unless otherwise noted.
