One 3" White Foam Body One 1" Plastic Doll Head with Wire *OR* A 1" Wooden Bead (head) One White or Pink Chenille Wire Stem (Pipe cleaner) Seam Binding ribbon, pink or white Very thin trim like rick rack or white loop braid Pink glass seed beads Pink fabric (I used 2 layers of dotted pink Swiss) White Eyelet Lace 1/2" Straight pins Pink, silver or shiny white 8mm sequins Sheet music for the choir book or wrapped wood block for gift Yarn for the hair Flesh colored paint for the head Red and black paint pens for the eyes/lips Tacky Glue
1 Trace paper patterns onto the pink fabric you are using for the dress. Cut out all the pieces. 2 Glue the very thin rick rack/trim to: a. the curved parts of the overskirt b. one long edge of the skirt bottom c. the curved parts of the shoulder patterns d. one long side of the bodice 3 Pin the ends of the skirt bottom at the right and left side seams of the doll body with the trim side near the bottom. Make small pleats as you go. 4 Follow the same procedure with the eyelet lace across the front of the doll body, allowing about 3/8" of the skirt bottom to show. 5 Pin the sides of the overskirt to both the left and right side of the doll body, over the eyelet lace and making pleats at the waistline. Use seed beads on the pins because those pins will show.
