Waaatttaaaa...! I am ninja boy from baby t-shirt ...Make me so that I could accompany your little son play and sleep......Haik!
Toddler growing so fast so that a lot of their t-shirts are quickly become too small. If there is a favorite t-shirt of your little son who had too small, why not turn it into a soft toy that would become his favorite toy. One is turn it into a ninja boy softie.Below is ​​ninja boy softie pattern I made, enjoy it!


These patterns are free to use not for sale,you allowed if you want to print patterns for your own use and sell the dolls your work using this pattern, and I would appreciate you not sell the pattern of mine :) Please include with our blog link to share 

Tools and Materials:
  • 1 Tshirt that has been too small or unused
  • Sewing needle and thread (sewing machine if there)
  • synthetic fibers for stuffing
  • rag / felt for the face and decorate dolls
  • Multipurpose glue / glue gun
  • scissors


How to make a ninja boy softie:



1. Prepare baby tshirt and print patterns (pattern I made on A4 paper, you can enlarge or reduce the pattern to adjust the size tshirt, try to arch the lower head of the exact same size as curved neck on the body)



2. Cut tshirt fit the pattern, each pattern a pair (2 pieces reverse), except for the hand, you need 2 pairs (4 pieces reverse), note the location setting patterns tshirt order enough for all the patterns. To face can use patchwork / fabric felt color, and enough cut 1 sheet only

3. Sewing doll face the front of head pieces, here I use the help of a sewing machine, you can use hand stitching.



4. Sew around the hand of doll (do not forget the good side of the fabric facing) and leave open the base of the arm, turning and fill with synthetic fibers.

5. Stacking doll hands on body, and again stack with a face, the face of doll facing to the hands and body as shown below. With the help of pin sewing throughout front of the doll neck.



6. Sew back head to back body but leaving a hole in the middle, enough to reverse later.

7. Stack the back and front sides of doll with good faced and hands inside the pile, then sew around the doll from head to toe all.




8. Turn over through a hole in the back of the neck that had been spared.


9. Fill fully / sufficiently to taste, not too little because the doll will be flat and lame.





10. Sew the stuffing hole using the ladder stitch and knot the thread tightly.




It is finished and ready to decorated using fabric felt!

How to wash your handmade rag doll or softies


Here we will discuss how to wash the dolls from cloth like rag doll or wardolf doll,  especially handmade dolls that require special treatment. Not to wash your mouth moveable puppet! Because moveable mouth puppet require somewhat different treatment to prevent damage.

We need to know is the type of fabric doll, cotton cloth washing easy but sometimes it is often shrinkage, for washing synthetic fabrics will be easier because it probably will not shrink, fabric felt sometimes change shape after washing.

softdoll handmade by tsabitaboneka made ​​of fleece fabric can be washed without worrying about shrinkage or wrinkled on the skin after washing dolls.
But if your child's dolls, was dirty would inevitably have to be washed, the following are tips to safely wash rag doll, if you are worry to wash them with a washing machine will ruin your handmade dolls.

Prepare equipment and dolls to be washed:


  • remove the costume / dress and a detachable asesories doll, doll clothes can be washed like normal clothes.
  • Bind / pigtails doll if the doll has hair made ​​of wool / cotton hand-sewn, and be sure not to loose when washing!. NEVER brush your doll hair made ​​of yarn because it will damage it! Doll hair from yarn can be combed with the fingers only!.
  • Even better if there is a bag made ​​of fabric net / tile, you could wrap her head and hair like a shower cap.
  • Equipment needed basin / bucket small, clean toothbrush, a little liquid soap / dishwashing liquid soap / shampoo is fine, towels were not dark so as not to fade dolls.

How to wash dolls:

  • Fill a basin with warm water or lukewarm is fine (do not use water too hot or too cold!).
  • Use a small amount of liquid soap dissolve in water shake until foamy.
  • Soak doll for 10 minutes or more.
  • If there are stubborn stains with a soft brush using a toothbrush until the stain is out, if made of felt do not use a toothbrush! replace your toothbrush with a small towel covered finger in the wet soapy water, wipe with a circular motion.
  • Drain the water from the bowl and press the excess water out of the doll.
  • Rinse soap from dolls  with plain water.
  • Roll up a towel to remove excess water, or to softdoll by TsabitaBoneka be dried in drying machine on the washing machine, and drying by hanging in the shade or allow to air dry itself. Keep dry on the same day to prevent the musty smell of the doll. If the weather is not friendly you can hang it near your refrigerator :)
Sorry we did not include a picture because our equipment is not worth photographed haha lol

Learn about Dolls and How to make: Waldorf Doll (traditional European dolls)


Waldorf doll (also called Steiner doll) is a form of doll used in Waldorf education. Made of wool and cotton, using techniques drawing on traditional European dollmaking, its appearance is intentionally simple in order to allow the child playing with it to improve or strengthen imagination and creativity. For instance, it has no facial expression. Its legs and arms are flexible, allowing natural postures.
Traditional Waldorf dolls are made from cotton interlock knit fabric and wool stuffing. They are often entirely natural. Typically the trademark long hair of a Waldorf doll is made of mohair or boucle. Some doll makers use alternative hair material such as woolrayon, and cotton. The facial features of a Waldorf doll vary with the maker. Most Waldorf dolls have small suggestions of noses, their eye and mouth colors are generally varied with each doll.(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
