19" Baby Jess Doll Making Kit

PLEASE READ! Pick the VELOUR COLOR for the velour footie sleeper from choices in additional image and tell us in the COMMENTS BOX during checkout. (Root Beer and Marigold are not available.)

A Joy's Waldorf Doll Making Kit for sewing a newborn size weighted Waldorf doll. Baby Jess, when complete, sits on its own, weighs 3 1/2 pounds, is 19" long and wears newborn clothes or you can sew a cozy cotton velour footy sleeper, hat and cotton flannel diaper from the included materials. This heavy baby doll warms up when being held, encourages nurturing skills and feels substantial in a child's arm or on a lap. The extra-effort to make this wonderful doll is well worth it!

Kit includes: reusable pattern pieces for 19" doll, footy sleeper, hat and diaper; Organic Skin Tone Cotton Knit; plenty of Eco Wool stuffing for a true Waldorf style doll; natural fiber hair yarn; inner head tubing; Cotton Knit Velour fabric for the footy sleeper and hat; cotton flannel for diaper; cotton muslin for sand bags; Velcro; elastic; a plain chopstick with a square end for stuffing; embroidery floss for facial features, craft thread and tying string; photo-illustrated step-by-step instructions; and 8 baby style wig making directions.

Not included: 2 pounds of fine white sterilized aquarium sand is not included. You can use millet instead but the doll will weigh less.

Eye color: Leave us a note if you wish a different color for the eyes and we will switch them for you.

Skill Level: Advanced
