![]() ![]() Note: A dammit doll doesn’t have to be perfect, so don’t worry about your mistakes, they make it unique. Here’s the poem that makes the dammit doll the dammit dollĬute huh? I love it! Here is a website for a homemade dammit doll that is soooooooooooo cute and the container they put it in is adorable too! I just decided to use what I had instead of going out and buying stuff! It is just as easy to print off the poem and put it on a little card and tie it around it’s neck, or put it in the box. Add a poem- The original doll has the poem sewn on the belly.DECORATE- add a bow tie, buttons, hair, eyes, ears, etc… I used whatever i had to make it cute. ![]() When it’s filled to the brim, sew off the 1 inch gap with thread.Stuff with stuffing or folded up batting (i made mine as tightly filled as possible).Turn the fabric inside out pushing all the edges out with a chopstick or something long.Put the right side of the fabric facing in and sew together leaving a 1 inch gap.Cut out the Dammit Doll Pattern with any fun fabric you would like.My friend has kind of a frustrating life sometimes and I thought a dammit doll would be a cute little gift to let her know that I cared, unfortunately they are $14.50 online (you can find them anywhere, just google search it). These dolls are meant for a time of frustration so you can take your anger out on something other than the world. I was in halmark and saw these voodoo looking dolls but with cool fabric and a cute little poem to go along. To be honest, I didn’t either until until this summer. This doll's hair was sooooo wonky and long that I trimmed it to make it look better.I don’t know if you know what a ‘Dammit Doll’ is, but I am finding that not many people do. Sometimes I trim the hair, sometimes I don't. This isn't some wonderfully, fantastic doll, it's supposed to be whacked! Don't worry about perfection on this one! Hand stitch the hair in place along the stitching line on the yarn. Sorry about the fuzzy photo, if you look closely you can see the white stitching line that goes through the yarn to secure it. Slip the yarn off your hand and use your sewing machine on a straight stitch to sew right through the middle of your yarn. The more open your hand is, the longer the strands of 'hair' you will have. Wrap about 10 wraps of Lion Brand Fun Fur (or whatever yarn you have in your stash) around you hand. Do the neatest job you can sewing up the seam. The photos I took of stitching up the open seam were terrible! Sorry about that. Stuff! I use some poly fill, but you can take apart an old stuffed animal and re-use the stuffing, or use pieces of quilt batting. I use a tube to help turning it right side out, but using a dowel or the eraser end of a pencil works fine, too. I also trim really close to the outside curving seams (you can see how close I clipped the seam around the head.) I clip everywhere there is an inside seam so rounded seams are smoother when you are done stuffing. Im a fan of rotary cutters, but not when the curves are this tight All cut out. You can see the little clips on the inside seams. Pin your pattern and cut out with scissors. Sew all the way around the doll and clip the seams. It makes it easier to sew around the curves smoothly. Set your stitch length to 1.5 (or whatever a small stitch length is on your machine). You can do it after, no worries, but it's easier when you don't have to bury the knot. Transfer the marks to the upper arm so you don't sew there.ĭammit! I forgot to sew on the face before I started sewing! It's easiest to sew the eyes and mouth on before you sew the doll together. I'm a fan of rotary cutters, but not when the curves are this tight!Īll cut out. Pin your pattern and cut out with scissors.
