Free dammit doll pattern
The black fabric was a little too loosely woven, so the stitching was pulling out. I think it was more the fabric than the pattern. I had some issues with the corners (under the arms, neck, etc). For the hair… I wrapped black yarn around a 6″ ruler, then stitched it down the middle, hand-stitched it to his head then gave it a trim so to achieve those “greasy black curtains” of hair.

One of my friends has suggested Voldie, Umbridge & the Malfoys as possible future candidates to be dammit dolled. I’ve left him with a, shall we say “blank” expression? (Read: I suck at faces.) I’ve seen Snape as a dammit doll before and decided to do one of my own. I’ve been feeling a bit… erm, craftipated, and decided on a simple & fun project that might help me get back on the crafty track. My original post on Craftster, January 27, 2007: What? Sometimes a girl has to vent her frustration! Of course, I can’t do that in an ordinary way, it has to have a fandom twist to it. Just grasp it firmly by the legs, and find a place to slam it,Īnd as you whack it’s stuffing out, yell, Here’s a little dammit doll you cannot do without, When you want to kick the desk or throw the phone and shout,
If you’re not familiar with Dammit Dolls, the idea is this: a basic soft doll with long legs to hold on to, usually accompanied by a poem that goes something like this:
