I put together a doll sewing kit for a girl from our Church. Her 12th birthday is coming up and I think this kit will be right up her alley.
I cut out the doll pieces from some tan fabric.
I included 1.8oz. of polyester stuffing.
That should be more than plenty!
I added the yarn for the doll's hair. Already precut and ready to sew.
And for good measure, I included a needle book. (Wink)
I embroidered the face because that can be
a little difficult.
And I traced all the stitching lines onto the pieces.
I assembled everything in a cute box. And I printed off a copy of the sewing instructions to include.
If you are interested in putting together a doll kit, you can find my Doll pattern HERE at my QuietStandards Etsy shop.
It is $4.35 for a digital download version of the pattern. That includes all the rights to the pattern, so, you are free to make dolls or doll kits and sell them yourself!
I know I would have loved a gift like this when I was 12. What about you? Did handicrafts play a role in your upbringing?

Your doll kit is beautiful! I am sure it will be a much enjoyed and appreciated gift. When I was 12 I would have loved to have received such a special gift! : )
Thank you, Sarah! We have so much in common! :)
This doll kit is perfect for a 12 year old. What fun she'll have!
Aw, what a special gift! I would have loved a gift like this at that age too! :) I think I was about that old when I designed and made my first cloth doll. I wish now that I had kept it.
I am glad you think so, too, Jennifer. I can't wait to give it to her. :)
