Welcome!
I love to design and make cloth dolls that are beautiful, detailed and well designed under the clothes. Many innovative techniques are taught in my patterns, and the instructions are very thorough and step by step.
Most of my doll patterns also have clothes that are "real," well designed and usually removable. Many of my patterns offer several face and hair designs to expand your dollmaking fun. I have over 70 patterns available with a huge variety of types and styles, from a tiny 5" baby to a 30" boy. There are children, adults, whimsies, fantasy, antique look alikes and even a chair!
All doll heights are "APPROXIMATE." You can not say that a cloth doll will be exactly a certain height.
Different stuffing, sewing, jointing and fabric will cause slight variations in size.
Supplies (fabric, fur, joint buttons, cord, etc.) are available at a number of online sites.
Several merchants at http://www.thedollnet.com have the "Stuff."
http://www.dollmakersjourney.com has wonderful 100% cotton wovens that can be used for my dolls too. (I suggest placing the pattern on the bias of woven fabrics for the best results for detailed dolls with profile faces).
CRs Crafts is a catalog you NEED for accessories, wigs, shoes, etc. 1-641-567-3652
