Thank you thank you!! This looks do-able. My Ann has a different hairstyle, with the fringe all around, but then the yarn is pulled thru in long pieces, and stitched in place at the base of her head, so the hair sort of mimics a sixties medium length with a flip up at the ends. And typing that out, I think I understand how to replace that hairstyle. Thank you! I'm so looking forward to getting Deedee back in good shape. I feel so nostalgic for my aunt now; this was her doll. Yay!!! Yes, I'm really happy to have a way forward!
@@sewhookedjenI would LOVE a tutorial on this style too, I'm definitely a beginner but I'd love to replace the hair on my Raggedy Ann for my daughter ❤️
I'm working on a project where I basically need to hand sew yarn hair to something oddly shaped. I looked at a few videos and this is the technique that looks like it will work best for what I'm doing. Thank you so much for making such a clear tutorial.
My pleasure! It's been an unexpected surprise that anyone is interested in what I can't help but think of a niche hobby. I love that I have the opportunity to share.
I'm loving these raggedy rescue tutorials! Thank you. I love this technique to attach hair. I hadn't seen it before... it's now in my "mental toolbox" for next time I add hair to the little crochet dolls I make Thank you!.
I loved this video. I made a Raggedy Ann years ago but I didn't see any instructions on doing the hair. I did get hair on her but the way you did it makes so much more sense. Thanks Jennifer.
Thank you! I have tried a variety of techniques, including making the hair kind of like a wig and the sewing it on, but this is by far my favorite way to do it!
Is there any way I could reach out to you about helping me with my Andy? He has dry rotted hair aswell but Im unsure whether or not I could find a hair reparing kit for the 1970s knickerbocker dolls.
Hi there! Unfortunately, if a hair replacement kit exists, I've not been able to find one. Depending on how easy the old hair is to remove (some dolls have glued hair), you could use the technique I show in the video with the yarn of your choice. I don't take commissions, but I'm happy to share guidance in repairing your own doll. You're welcome to email me at sewhooked@gmail.com.

What you describe sounds similar to one of the older simplicity patterns I have. You can absolutely do it!

Love the backstory on the pattern and how you're able to use it for a restoration. Coral looks beautiful on this girl. Thank you for sharing!
