Blume - a free cloth doll pattern


Blume - free pattern

A couple of posts ago I mentioned we had 39 women sign up for a free class sponsored by my doll club. This is the pattern I designed for the class - it's soooo simple. Fits the Barbara Willis face stamps too. Go ahead and download it ... if you make one I'd love to link to a photo of it!

My friend Kerry has already made one ... her version is here.
Mary Ann also made one ...
So did Sherrie and Susan.
Take a look at Jan's wonderful little Poppy .

Update: March 2008 - I see lots of folks coming here and looking at Blume. If you download this for a challenge or project please leave me a comment - I love to hear what people do with my ideas. Thanks!

She is very cute. Perhaps I need to make her too to get my wandering muse back. I almost ripped apart my doll I was making for the Indian class. I got so cross with it for now working out the way I wanted it to grrrrrr...

Hi again Judi
Just thought I'd mention that the 'link' to my doll doesn't seem to be working. I don't know what is wrong but maybe you do?
Thanks!

She's wonderful! I love the bright colors you used for her. And you are pretty wonderful, too, for giving her pattern free to everyone.

Hi Judi,
I've been looking for an easy pattern for a fabric doll. Yours looks really simple and leaves alot of room for artistic expression. I'll let you know how she turns out.
Cheers!

Hi Judi, I am just now finely getting around to trying to make your doll here. I want to try and just draw the face but it is so small I can hardly see it. Is there any way that you could take a picture of just the face and send it to me. And if you wouldn't mind. I am making it for our new son-in-law's mother. Course I will have to make me one too. Thanks, Cyn

Hi Judi, It's me again Cynthia. Also there isn't a lot of instructions to this doll, but I know the basic to make it. But when it comes to the yarn that is wrapped around the dolls arm now have you got any of it glued? I was thinking if I ran a light beaded line & just wrap it around quickly that it would help to keep it in place. Also how have you got the body as far as the chest area? Is that painted or did you make a little top for it? I was hoping to find some kind of orange knited fabric to make a little top & tack it between the legs. Also the yarn around the butt part of the doll, did you just wrap the yarn around the waist then around just a little bit each leg? I hope that I will hear back from you soon. I have all the body together for the small one then my daughter enlarged it for me for the second one.

Hello ! Wonderful and easy to make even by children ! I'll download the pattern with your permission and I'll try to organize a free class at home, with my friends' children during Christmas holydays. If I manage, I'll send you the little frenchies photos.

I apologize for my approximative English writing.

Thanks !

Judi, I am in one of those inter-project modes and I want to experiment with some different fabrics using a simple pattern. This is just the thing. Thanks. W

Judi, I love to sew and make quilts for the babies, but feel a need to make some doll babies for the little ones to carry around.
Looking forward to sewing this pattern!
Thank you for the opportunity to do "sew"!

I love your pattern. Thanks for sharing with us!

Posted by: Mary at December 28, 2009 4:07 PM

Judi..I absolutely love your dolls, however I am just not good at math..When printing your patterns should they be printed at 100% or larger? Am making some for my granddaughters as a collection for them to keep..Thank you for your inspiration and your talent.

I finished my first doll tonight. And yes, it's been forever since this post was put up, but I came across it last week and well, it's wonderful. The pattern is simple, easy to do and leaves enough room for me to improvise. So thank you, I really appreciate this post, Flossie and I couldn't be happier!

Posted by: Rach at August 2, 2010 6:26 PM

Hi Judi, I had tried to send you an email at the email address I saw on your site but it did go so I will try here. I just wanted to tell you that I have made a few of you Blume doll and they turned out really cute. I was going to share them with you but can't on this I guess. So if you would like to see them and maybe post them on your site just contact me at this address.

Posted by: Cynthia Gallegos at March 3, 2011 3:28 PM

This doll is the same pattern I used for the witches, only she has a flat face. I created the pattern specifically for this doll. Her bottom is flat so she sits very well. She also has a matching chair. Here are Directions for the chair. She is in a good home with Teri Jones.
