    **BEFORE YOU BEGIN**


    * Read all instructions thoroughly and assemble all the materials
    you will need before beginning.
    * 1/4" seam allowance is not included on most pattern pieces. Tracing
    line is sewing line unless otherwise indicated. Refer to pattern.
    * You may coffee stain your fabric before begining your project
    or after. (or both!)

    **TECHNIQUES FOR PRIMIN' IT**

    Coffee Stain Mix


    * Mix approx. 1/4 cup instant coffee with 1/2 cup water plus a
    pinch of vanilla extract. You may even add a hint of cinnamon to
    the mixture. For a lighter stain effect use instant tea. You may
    apply this with a sponge brush or squirt bottle.

    Bakin' Your Prims


    * Some people like to bake their projects in the oven to "age"
    them a bit. If you choose to do this after coffee staining
    PLEASE WATCH IT CLOSELY! Slow dry your project in a warm
    180 degree oven with the door left ajar just slightly. Turn your
    prim every so often to prevent scorching and allow it to dry evenly.

    Sanding
    * The key to the prim look is careful sanding of your project. I
    use fine sandpaper. Medium is ok, just be careful, you don't want
    to sand straight through the fabric. Sand lightly all over. A little
    more in areas that would naturally show more age. Afterwards, you
    may rub lightly with cinnamon to "grubby" it up even more.
    Makes it smell good too!

    Makin' a Prim Tag


    * Spray or brush coffee mix on tags, bake in oven at 180 degrees
    until dry. After they cool add your favorite prim saying.

    *Gettin' Started
    Trace on to doubled muslin, one doll body, 2 legs, and 2 arms. With right
    sides together, sew on tracing line, leave open where indicated on each
    pattern piece. Trim excess and turn all pieces right side out. Stuff arms
    and legs to the line indicated on pattern. Stuff head and body. Stuff all
    pieces firmly. Stitch the openings closed except for doll body. Put legs,
    feet forward, into open body bottom. Pin in place then sew bottom closed
    with legs in the seam. Hand stitch arms to body. Refer to pattern for
    placement of arms and legs.
    *Paintin' Her Up
    Spray your doll with your coffee mix solution and place on a cookie sheet
    in a 180 degree oven to dry. Watch closely and turn often so as not to
    burn her. Remove from oven and let cool. Blush her cheeks and stripe her
    legs, using barn red acrylic paint and a dry brush method. Paint two white
    circles for her eyes with ivory acrylic paint. Make them just slightly larger
    than your 3/8" button...that will go in the middle. Let dry completely. Stitch
    the nose using 6 strands of red DMC floss. Stitch the 3/8" black buttons in
    the center of the white of her eye. Pull tight on the thread to indent slightly.
    I use a long length of black DMC floss and a long doll needle. Enter and exit
    through her back below the neckline. Shade around the outside of the nose
    and white eye circles with burnt umber acrylic paint and a tiny paint brush.
    Use a dry brush method for this using VERY little paint...just a slight hint.
    With one strand of black DMC floss, stitch on her brows and lashes and
    smiling mouth. Using one strand of red DMC floss stitch a mouth. For the
    face details I use a long doll needle and enter and exit at the top of her
    head, we will cover that later with hair so it won't show. Refer to picture
    and pattern for placement of all items.

    *Makin' Her "Loons"


    Cut or rip 2 pieces of muslin 8" x 7 1/2". Sew with 1/4" seam down both
    7 1/2" sides. Now find the middle of the loons and draw a line up the
    middle about 4 1/2". Sew around that line, up one side and down the other.
    Now cut right up the middle on the drawn line. Turn right side out.
    *Makin' The Dress
    Cut out one dress bodice as indicated on pattern. Rip or cut 2 pieces of
    homespun 6 1/2" x 15". Gather the 15" length with a running stitch along
    the top edge til it matches the bottom piece of the bodice. I use embroidery
    floss for this. Pin right sides together. Sew each to front and back of
    bottom of the bodice. Sew underarms all the way down the skirt. Turn right
    side out.
    *Makin' Little Rabbit Foo Foo
    Trace one bunny onto doubled brown homespun. With right sides together
    sew on traced lines, leaving open where indicated on pattern. Trim excess
    and turn right side out. Stuff bunny firmly and sew opening closed. Blush the
    cheeks and ears lightly with barn red acrylic paint and a dry brush method.
    Stitch the nose using 6 strands of red DMC floss. Lightly dry brush above
    the nose with ivory paint to highlight. Also highlight the eyebrow area. Allow to
    dry. Stitch on the two small black beads above his nose. (Enter and exit all
    stitching at the top of his head...we will cover that later with his hair).Stitch
    the eyebrows and mouth with a single strand of black DMC. Add whiskars
    using 6 strand of black DMC floss. Enter on one side of his nose and exit
    on the other side. Tie a knot on each side to secure. Now cut a heart piece
    out of the fabric of your choice. Stitch to the bunnys tummy using a single
    strand of black DMC floss. Add a button to the heart if you wish. Using six
    strands of black DMC floss stitch hair to his head. (Refer to pattern).

    *Puttin' Her Together


    Put the loons on the doll and tack in place at the waist. Cut doll neck as
    indicated on pattern. Put the dress on the doll. Stitch around neckline with
    black embroidery floss. Begin and end at back of neck, pull up tight and tie
    off. You may want to add two buttons to her dress bodice. Now using red
    raw sheeps wool, or in a pinch you can use yarn, cut 42 lengths of wool
    about 5" long. Split into 21 groups of two pieces each. Find the middle of
    each 2 strand bundle and stitch each to her head with red embroidery floss.
    Use the pattern as a guide. Now for the very last thing, her hair bow....cut
    or rip a 2" x 8" piece of homespun. Tie a knot in the middle and trim to the
    length you want. Well...you did it and she's soooo pretty!
