About this pattern

Book an appointment with our cute caregiver Marion the Nurse. In both sickness and health, this rosy-cheeked nurse by Cheryl Owen is skilled in helping plaster a smile on any recipient’s face. With her long, golden locks, she even has the ability to wear various hairstyles – the more ribbons, the better! Adorned with a elasticated cap and white tie apron, atop a charming hook and loop fastened checked dress, you can find the outfit instructions in your template pack so little ones can practice getting Marion ready for a busy day’s work.
