Little Miss Figgy Pudding Doll Pattern from Country Folk by Brenda Walker

The Little Miss Figgy Pudding Doll pattern from the Country Folk range makes an extremely sweet Christmas rag doll and outfit.  Created by the talented Brenda Walker, Little Miss Figgy Pudding stands 38cm (15″) tall.  The full size pattern to make this adorable rag doll also comes complete with patterns to make a dress, a pair of bloomers, an apron, a hat and a bag.  Brenda completes her patterns with easy to follow instructions and we think she may have a soft spot for Christmas!!
