Bit of Whimsy Dolls - Molly and Seamus
Wittle Whimsies
Molly and Seamus
Background on Wittle Whimsies
I love little dolls and I have always wanted to make a little doll
pattern that was easy to make. Wittle Whimsies are teeny,
adorable and easy! At only 6”, they are a great size for little
ones and for grownups!
Molly the bunny and Seamus the lamb are a lot of fun to make
and are quick to sew up as well! The accessories are fun to
make as well, adding to the play value!

READ THE DIRECTIONS FOR THE ENTIRE

PATTERN BEFORE STARTING THIS PROJECT!

Supplies Needed per doll:

• Small scraps for the head,body and quilt pieces
• 3”x 10” piece of felt, fleece or knit fabric
• 9”x 12” piece of knit fabric for hat
• Embroidery floss
• 1/4” (6mm) buttons or safety eyes (optional)
• 5/8” ribbon
• Polyfil and chopstick or wooden dowel for stuffing
• Scissors, doll needle, pencil

• Print pattern and cut pieces out.

• Pin pattern pieces to fabric and cut on the solid line.
I have already included the seam allowance so you
don’t need to worry about that.
• Remember that Whittle Whimsies need four arms,
four legs, two ears, two bodies, two heads

• Sew the bottom of the head pieces to the top of the

body pieces, stitching along the dashed line as
shown on the pattern piece. Press the seam with your
iron.

• Sew two arm pieces together by top stitching 1/8”

away from the raw edge.
• Repeat for the other arm and also for the legs.
• Do not turn right side out.

• Pin the ears in place using the pattern piece and the
picture as a guide. Stitch in place as close to the raw
edge as possible.
• Pin the arms in place using the pattern piece and
picture as a guide. Stitch in place as close to the raw
edge as possible.

• For Seamus
• Sew the arms and legs together as you did for Molly.
• Fold the ears half way down and sew the fold in
place as close to the flat edge as possible.

• For Seamus
• Pin the ears in place using the photo and the pattern
piece as a guide.
• Stitch in place as close to the raw edge as possible.
• Continue with the same steps as Molly.

• Pin the body front to the body back and stitch

around the body, leaving the bottom open. Use a
1/8” seam allowance. Go back and stitch next to
your seam to add durability.
• The arms will be inside the body for this step.
• Do not sew the bottom closed!

• Turn her right side out and stuff firmly.

• When stuffing her body, you may want to add a little
bit more stuffing than you think is necessary because
you’ll have to push the stuffing up into her body to
be able to make room for attaching his legs.
• Push the polyfil up into her body so that you have
some free fabric at the bottom of her body.
• Turn the bottom raw edges under and pin the legs in
between the folded edges where indicated on the
pattern.
• Wittle Whimsies are pigeon toed so her little toes
point in. :)

• For me, attaching the legs is the trickiest part of

putting Wittle Whimsies together.
• Make sure to pin carefully!
• Using a straight or zig zag stitch, stitch the bottom
of her body closed by stitching through all layers of
fabric.
• This seam will show so be super careful and slow to
make sure it looks good.
• Also it helps to go slow to keep all of the pieces in
line.
• If I am using a straight stitch, I like to go back and
do another line of stitching right next to it to make
the seam more durable.

• Draw her nose, mouth and eyes using your pencil.

• For embroidering the facial features, thread your
doll needle with three strands of embroidery floss.
Tie a knot and pull the needle through from the back
of the head to the point where you want to start
stitching. Pull the knot through the fabric at the back
of the head. Pull gently and the knot will pop
through.
• When you are done stitching his facial features, push
your needle through to the back of his body right
along his neck seam. Tie your knot and then push
the needle back through to the front of his body and
cut your thread close to the body.

• Sew the two apron pieces together with right sides

facing using a 1/8” seam allowance. Do NOT sew
the flat edge
• Turn right side out & press with your iron.
• Top stitch around the curved edge of the apron.
• Cut a 16” length of ribbon.
• Fold the ribbon in half along the long side. Use your
iron on a low setting to set the crease.
• Mark the middle of the ribbon and the middle of the
apron.
• Line up the middle marks of the ribbon and apron
and pin the apron inside the ribbon, lining the flat
edge of the apron against the crease in the ribbon.

• Sew the ribbon in place.

• With right sides together, sew the two hat pieces

together along the long sides.
• Leave the short side of the triangle open.

place to make the hem.

• Place the quilt top on top of the fabric you are using
for the back with right sides facing.
• Cut the back fabric to the same size as the front.
• Sew together using a 1/4” seam allowance, leaving a
3” gap at the bottom so you can turn it right side out.
• Clip the corners.

• Turn right side out.

• Press flat with your iron.
• Top stitch the quilt along the seam lines or in any
design you prefer.

• CONGRATULATIONS! THEY’RE DONE!!!

Remember to always give Wittle Whimsies
embroidered eyes of you are giving them to little ones.
Buttons are choking hazards! Do not place stuffed toys
in a crib with a sleeping baby!

Have fun mixing different fabrics for different looks...

you may be surprised with what you create!

About Sarah
First, thank you very much for purchasing this ePattern! Most importantly as you make your creations from my ePattern, I ask
that you respect the fair Terms of Use.

This original design is Copyrighted and violators will be prosecuted. All rights reserved.

Sewing has always been a major part of my life ever since my Mom taught me how to sew at age 5. As a young girl, I always
loved playing with dolls and stuffed animals (what girl doesn’t?), but only recently have I started to venture more into the
designing of patterns for my creations.

Today, I’m a stay at home Mother to three wonderful children - Robbie, Abby, and Billy. Being able to sew has brought me so
much joy over the years and the ability to make my own children some of the most wonderful toys, blankets, and clothes. It’s my
hope that the art and joy of sewing handcrafted custom made goods continues to be passed from parent to child, especially given
today’s culture of designer clothes and expensive toys.
