BODY: Use cut foot portion from sock. Round open edges. Stuff firmly and
sew opening closed. Push stuffing around until you have a nice egg
shape.
FEATURES: For eyes, sew two small circles of black felt over two large
half-circles of white felt. The black eye pieces can be placed in the
center, to the sides or cross-eyed to get different effects. Add
eyebrows of black felt or embroider them in black yarn. A few stitches
in brown yarn will serve for a nose. Cut the mouth from red felt
(Figure 1).
ARMS AND LEGS: Make two arms and legs from the second sock. Cut
rectangular pieces, sew along the long sides and across one end. Turn
and stuff. Sew the arms to the sides of the body and the legs to the
bottom. The longer the arms and legs are, the cuter your doll will be.
Tie yarn or ribbon around wrists and ankles.
HAIR: Make yarn pom poms (see page 32) and sew them to the top of the
head.
DRESS: From the pattern designs on page 29, make a pair of pants and
tack them on Humpty Dumpty. A colorful cap can be made from pattern
designs on page 31. If you decide to make shoes (page 30) bend the legs
for feet, stitching the tuck.
