nity.) They had fabric for the dolls that we could take home and bring back sewn. Then they told us that we could also make the gowns that go on the dolls. This was wonderful. I have so much fabric that I have not decided what I am going to do with and I am trying to use what I have so I don't have to move so much fabric again in Feb.
So, this week, every night after Madalynn goes to bed I have been sewing. It has been so fun. I understand that they hand out these dolls when a child goes to have surgery and they point out the parts that they are going to have surgery on and then give the doll to the child to keep. They are super super easy and the pattern had this number on it if you want to make some: 801-662-5968.
So, I took pictures. I took an half yard of the yellow fabric and made some and I was able to make 9 out of that fabric. Then I found the cute blue. I just had to make 4 of those. I decided that I would make as many as I could cut out in two hours. I learned again how much I love my serger. It is the best at making clothes. I don't make many clothes because I love quilting so much, but I am learning. My best friend abby showed me how to make a child jumper this week and when I can figure out how to use the tension correctly on my machine to use the elastic thread on the back of the jumper I will post pictures. It was nice to spend a few hours working on something that will be given to someone in need.
This is a picture of the dolls that we are going to stuff on Tues at the activity. This is the easiest thing that I have ever made, so noone should be afraid of sewing something like this.

Very cute! I love using my serger to create clothes. We had an RS activity and made dolls to send to Haiti. It is nice to know that there is something like this that we could also do that would make a difference closer to home.
Is there a way to get the patterns for these if we don't attend an LDS church?
thanks!
These are very cute, and such a great thing for the kids who are going into surgery.
Marguerite-- I am sorry that I never saw your comment. I had not been on my computer in quite a while and then didn't see the email asking your question. However, you can just call number in the post and they can hook you up with all the information on the projects that they have need of.
my daughter went to the hospital and they gave her one of these and her little sis was jelous so we made her one too.
