Anyone have any tips on where to find a pattern for Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls???

just noticed your post looking thru the archives...

i think mc'calls or simplicity has one. my mom made us them when we were kids and we still have them - complete with embroidered on hearts that say "I love you' in them. They are/were well loved and last great. :thumb I still remember receiving my Andy on my 5th birthday and how much i hugged his soft body.

There's also a website called Grandmashouse which has old (some unopened, some used) patterns, including Raggedy Annies (although I think that they're a perennial pattern in the pattern catalogues so you should be able to find a pattern anywhere that sells patterns in your area). Since most fabric stores have a permanent "half off" on patterns anymore, and sometimes sales for significantly less, you may well be able to find the pattern, new, for less than a used on online (counterintuitive I know ;)). But, if you're far from fabric stores, her site would be a good one to check out.

(If you have a hard time finding the website, I found it by googling for vintage apron patterns). I've ordered from it, and the service is fast and you get what they describe on their site, too. :) I just ordered a rag doll pattern from them which was from the '70's, I remember the doll my Grandma made us with the pattern and I think it will turn out well for Ina too. When I finally have time to sew it!!! :rolleyes
