HAIR: Make colorful pom poms, using any of the hair styles on [page 32]. For a short hairdo, outline the hair line on the head before you arrange the pom poms.
CLOTHING: Scrappy can be dressed as a boy or a girl in a wide variety of costumes. Here’s how we dressed “him” as a little boy.
SWEATER: Use a colorful ribbed sock. Cut it off at the heel and use the cuff portion. For armholes, make a slit on each side of the sock about 1½″ down from the top. Slip sweater on and turn down the top for a turtle neck (Figure 5).
PANTS: Cut from black felt, pattern design B-2, [page 29]. Seam sides, turn and fit doll, tucking at the waist as necessary. Add a leatherette or plaid shoe-string belt.
JACKET: Cut from bright blue felt, pattern design A-6, [page 28]. Sew side seams and turn right side out. Sew two rows of white thread around all the edges for trim. Add a little square pocket and tuck in a colorful “hankie.” Sew small white buttons on the front.
TAM: Use bright blue felt, with the band in yellow felt, and follow pattern design C-17 on [page 31]. For a snug fit, fit the yellow band around the head, sew the ends together and use it as a guide in cutting the circles of blue felt.
SHOES: Cut from red felt, pattern design F-27, [page 30]. Add shiny buckles.
