Meet Beatrice!

She has a terrific sense of humor and loves to tell jokes - but only to people she knows really well. She's a little bit shy with strangers.

Her favorite book is Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems and her favorite food is carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Yum!

Beatrice is one of The Dress Up Bunch and can share clothes with everyone else in the group. Fun! She has weighted hands and feet for excellent flop, arms and legs that will go in any direction for great play and easy dressability, and plenty of cuteness! Beatrice is also very easy to make.

You Get. . .

• A digital pattern delivered by email. (If you're not sure what a PDF pattern is, you'll find more info here.)
• full-sized pattern for Beatrice and a set of play clothes (shorts and a shirt - plus a simple skirt) – no enlarging needed
• detailed instructions and lots of step by step photos – you’ll never feel lost or wonder if you’re doing it right
• links to videos teaching you all the skills you’ll need to complete the project

Please note - this pattern is just for the doll. None of the clothes you see in the photos are included, but there's a free pattern here for Play Clothes (a shirt and pair of shorts), and one here for an easy skirt.

All the Dress Up Bunch dolls (except Mini Lizzie) can wear all of the Dress Up Bunch outfits and accessories.

Size

Beatrice is 17 inches tall from head to toe – 11 inches when sitting. Of course - that's not counting her lovely long ears. :-)

Difficulty

Beatrice is very easy to make – a great project for beginners. All the parts are nice and roomy for easy turning and stuffing, they all tuck easily inside the body for the final assembly, and there’s a nice straight back seam for turning and stuffing that’s easy to sew up by hand. If you know how to use your sewing machine you can make Beatrice.

• 1/2 yard bunny-colored fabric
• scraps of contrasting fabric for the ear linings
• tiny scrap of wool felt for her nose
• black embroidery thread for the face, plus matching thread for her nose
