Josephine Doll Pattern Making these dolls means pulling out your scrap bin and button box and having a wonderful time pairing up patterns and prints. Each doll has felt hair and some have felt balls as pigtails, too. I love an excuse to use all this fun stuff! This is an original sewing pattern by Abby Glassenberg. Copyright 2016. All rights reserved. It is illegal to distribute this pattern electronically or in hard copy without permission. Have a question? Email memailto:: [email protected] To make a Josephine Doll you’ll need: • scraps of quilting cotton in flesh tone for the face and arms, in a print from the dress, and in a contrasting print for the tights • wool-blend felt (I get mine from Wool Felt Central) for the hair • fiberfill stuffing • coordinating thread • embroidery floss (I use black, peach, and pink) • optional: wool balls and buttons (find wool balls from various shops on Etsy), lipstick to blush the cheeks
