In four simple steps and using just a small amount of fabric, you can stitch this fabulous character from designer Corinne Bradd. Wearing a glamorous headscarf that beautifully shows off one of our favourite prints from the Velvet Collection, Dimity Dolly is perfect for play, as her fibre filling ensures she is super-soft and cuddly. If you really want to impress your little one, why not experiment with your choice of fabric and embroidered expressions to create a troupe of snuggle buds?
1 Download the templates at sewmag.co.uk, print and cut out. From printed fabric, cut one full shape and one lower body shape, adding a 5mm seam allowance. Snip a head piece from plain fabric and sew to the lower body at the neck to make a complete piece. Place the pieces right sides together and stitch all the way around, leaving a small gap in the top side of the head. Clip the curves and turn out. Lightly stuff with fibre filling, turn in the edges of the gap and slipstitch closed. With a soft pencil, sketch features onto the doll, then embroider with two strands of embroidery thread, securing the stitches on the back of the head. U
