Raggedy Anne with an E!

Welcome to the October edition of Anne's Clubhouse! 🎃

This month, Anne and Grace are getting into the Halloween spirit by making adorable costumes inspired by one of their favorite dolls, Raggedy Ann—except this time, Anne is spelled with an E! How fun is that? 🌟 You can join the fun by downloading your very own paper doll, reading an exciting story, crafting a cute yarn wig, and using a special pattern designed by Tamara Casey to bring your Halloween look to life. Let’s get creative and have some spook-tacular fun! ✨

The Little Princess pattern by Tamara Casey, as seen in the beautiful design, is a stunning costume perfect for transforming your 12" Anne doll into a regal princess. This enchanting gown features a shimmering blue bodice with puffed sleeves, a delicately layered overskirt that adds volume and elegance, and a long, flowing underskirt with layers of tulle for a true princess look. The finishing touch is, of course, the sparkling crown, making it ideal for dressing up your doll for Halloween or any other royal occasion!

Why it’s Perfect for Halloween:

This costume is just what Anne needs to step into her fairy tale dreams this Halloween. Whether she’s hosting a magical ball or casting spells as a royal sorceress, this gown brings the fantasy to life. Sewers can have so much fun recreating the sparkle and glamour of their favorite princess tales with this outfit. Plus, the versatility of this look allows for endless creative storytelling—turning Anne into a princess, fairy queen, or even a noble knight in disguise.

5 Fantasy Photo Ideas for Sewers:

  1. Royal Ball Extravaganza: Set up a grand ballroom scene with Anne twirling in her Little Princess gown. Add other dolls in elegant attire, a glittery chandelier, and a mini red carpet for a fairy tale ball moment.

  2. Magical Woodland Adventure: Place Anne in a forest setting, with glowing fairy lights or LED candles. She could be wandering through an enchanted forest, her crown glimmering as she discovers a secret fairy hideaway.

  3. Princess at the Castle: Create a backdrop of a royal castle, with Anne standing tall on the steps, ready to greet her royal subjects. Use props like mini flags, pillars, or a gate for a regal atmosphere.

  4. Fairy Godmother Moment: Capture Anne casting a magical spell, with sparkles added in post-editing to create that magical fairy godmother effect. You could use glittery props like wands or pumpkins to bring the magic alive.

  5. Tea Party with the Queen: Set up a cozy afternoon tea scene with Anne and her doll friends in their best royal costumes. Use teacups, miniature cakes, and a whimsical garden setting to complete this princess-themed tea party.

These ideas can help bring out the inner princess in Anne, and they're perfect for sharing with other doll collectors or sewers who want to showcase their creations!
