Memento Soft Doll Sewing ProjectS
Updated: Jun 20, 2022
It was both lots of fun and an honor to create these 3 soft dolls for the grandchildren of a friend of mine who recently passed on to live with our Lord. I used clothing of hers specially selected by her husband for this purpose. The pattern is one I used before: available at ETSY, the Poppy Dolly. Click HERE to purchase the pattern like I did.

Memento Soft Dolls
Since my ‘To Do’ list included making a doll for my #2 Granddaughter, Hadasah, I decided to mass-produce her doll as well as the other thee while I was at it. Here is her doll – which she’ll be getting for her big 2nd birthday coming up in July.

Previous Post Using the Same Pattern
I first used this pattern for # 1 Granddaughter and blogged on it back in 2017: You can read all those details at THIS LINK.
Honestly, I wish I had taken the time to go back and re-read my blog post myself! If I had, I’d be happier with the faces of the 3 gift Memento dolls. Here’s a close-up of a face. You can see that with just a single layer fabric used for the face, you can see the ends of the embroidery floss hanging around on the backside, but I couldn’t safely cut any closer. I had to just tell myself that (as usual) the creator sees things that few others will ever notice!
