Abayomi Rag Doll

I am going to try this. It will be a great activity for my african chair trip!!

I am going to attempt this next week, l will cut all the pieces out first and label each piece.

Cant wait to try this with my residents :)

My residents loved this, and so did we! A perfect way to use up scrap fabrics. We also made little necklaces with large beads. Will be doing this again...next will make sure we have all the correct pieces cut first. thanks for a great activity!

Julia,

Lovely feedback thank you, glad they enjoyed it!

Since the knots need to be trimmed anyway, one solution might be tying the knots with longer pieces of material so the loops are easier to make and handle, and then trimming the extra material at the end.

Hi Julia, you may use lycra for easy making knots however, you must increase the width of the 'body' rectangle (by a quarter more) otherwise the doll will look too skinny. Best wishes!

I tried this last weekend the residents loved the dolls but did find it a little difficult tying the knots. I loved it and tied many knots. Thank you.

It's lovely activities I will showing my residents next week I am sure they will love to make the little dolls ...

What a lovely item to make. I will be showing my Day Centre clients how to do this in July. I am sure they will adore their little dolls. Dawn
