introZombie Attack!

I woke up this morning to find my nice little Raggedy Ann ruthlessly attacked by Zombies!

Gone are her lovely red strands of hair; her fall, sunflowery dress, and those sparkling green eyes.

No! They've been replaced by a blank stare, felt maggots, and ragged clothing. Oh the humanity of it all! (Or inhumanity!)





UPDATE! AHHHHHH! Look where I found her when I got home from work!

step 1How it Happened

I'm not really sure, but our dollar store CSI kit has helped us locate what the Zombies might have needed to capture and transform the poor little doll. Was it deliberate…


step 2They Sewed and Sewed

Yes, it's true. They used my sewing machine, which had small marks of people goo on it. (I cleaned it off with ZomX.) They sewed the parts together, sloppily ripping open …


step 3The Rags that Clothed Her

The dress was made with little care. The top was sewn with no edge since the fabric doesn't fray. The skirt has elastic poorly sewn around the top edge, making some of the …


step 4Maggots!

I never would have believed mine eyes! Felt maggots invading her head! A piece of felt about 6" long was cut, filled with stuffing, and sewn together along the side. Then …


step 5Brains and Maggots

For some reason, the Zombies believed they could eat the little doll's brains. When they discovered it didn't taste like chicken, they sewed the maggots to the opening. O…


step 6Mary Kay.....Zombie Sympathizer?

The zombies used a light green makeup to give the maggots a little more color. The stuffing (brain) was coated in a deep red blush, just to make sure I saw the opening. Ma…


step 7Glamour Shots

Once finished, the little Zombie doll needed her photo taken...for evidence.

This is so cute! I have an old Raggedy Ann that actually looks a bit like she's been attacked by zombies, but it's because she's 40 years old. Mine has a heart on her chest that says "I love you". Wonder what the Zombie Ann would have, there should be something.

You should sell these on Etsy.com. You'd do well, especially with the storyline.

Thanks! Zombie Ann's chest has no heart....the instinct for brains has bypassed any trail of a beating soul.

My grandmother made me one when I was a kid, and it looks pretty "raggedy" too. That's the cool thing though. We know they were loved. Poor Zombie Ann; her thirst for brains will never know love....wait, what's that in the shadows.....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I doubt Pillsbury Doughboy will be saying, "Hoo Hoo," anytime soon!

I like it! Even though I'm never going to make this, it's really cool, and seems like a fun project!

+5/5 stars.

Yay! It would have been nice to get a pattern, but I can wing it.

Awesome commentary! One thing, though, I didn't see how the zombies attached her hair?

Check out the Raggedy Ann Instructable. It's from the same person- she shows how to do the hair in that one
