Bernie Sanders Doll
You can find the pattern and instructions for all the embellishments on my blog for FREE!
This little doll is approximately 11 inches tall, has posable limbs and can sit unsupported. I love his little surgical mask and how it fits up under his glasses, his little “grumpy” eyebrows and yet his sweet looking face and of course his mittens. He can cross his arms and legs, he can be stretched out flat and he can hold his little envelope of important documents. He’s one of my favorite makes and I hope you love making him too!
I tried to keep my classic, simple rag doll construction, but I wanted him to be extra special and so he is a little more tedious than my usual designs. Tedious, but still easy!
I feel I should add a disclaimer that this doll has some delicate features and isn’t meant to be played with.
