Pattern Description: I made seventeen hospital dolls from a free pattern download. The local Kiwanis Aktion Club stuffed them & sewed up the stuffing gaps. Each doll is 15" tall; with a round head, arms, & legs; but no face. They're given to kids in hospitals. They serve as a boredom buster, an outlet for expression, a doctor's demonstration, and a keepsake.

The other five dolls

Pattern Sizing: The pattern comes in one size.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? They were made of different fabrics.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, they were wonderfully easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that it makes cute hospital dolls. I have no actual dislikes.

Fabric Used: Cottons in assorted stripes, florals, & prints. The group leader chose them.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I followed the instructions to the letter.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I'd make more hospital dolls if the need arises. Yes, I'd recommend it to other groups that sew.

Conclusion: The dolls were great fun to make. I think the young patients will like them.
