Meet Mollie! She’s an only child but she LOVES to play with other kids so you can always find her at the playground or having a sleepover. Her favorite book is I Am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go to Bed by Lauren Child and her favorite food is buttered toast with strawberry jam.

Mollie 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! Mollie is also very easy to make.

Size

Mollie is 17 inches tall from head to toe – 11 inches when sitting.

Difficulty

Mollie 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 Mollie.
