Preemie babies are very skinny, with out the fat cheeks, fat rolls, and wrinkles of full-terms. Most dolls and patterns advertised as "preemie" are actually just small full-terms which can be very inaccurate. The Preemie Doll Pattern have been developed to be realistic as possible and increase understanding of premature babies.
The Preemie Doll Pattern includes instructions for making 13 through 40 week gestation baby dolls. |

About the Doll Designer:
Sandy Eding is the mother of an extremely premature baby (25 weeks), who developed this pattern out of a passion to show just how tiny and beautiful preemies really are. Frustrated by the fatness of regular dolls and the inaccuracy of most "preemie dolls," she set out to create dolls that would be true to life, depicting preemies as realistically as possible. |
