This is a life size doll made from a pattern having a child lie down on newspaper and draw around him/her. It is meant to wear regular clothes and wig, hat...etc.
I love the women's doll made this way..
I laughed when it said for a woman doll to put a bra on it and stuff it! LOL

I would be willing to be in on a doll swap too. what would we all like to do. Should I make a new thread and see if anyone else is interested? and thank you for those directions. I am going to try that dolly but I may enlarge it like you said , stuffing may be a bit hard with it so small. It is cute!!!

Yes, Bev. if you wanted to be swap mamma/hostess for a doll swap that would be wonderful. We could use guidelines like approx size. A swap is not the same thing as a sew-along. I'd love to see us do a swap and we could still post the pics to show as we go. The sewing progress would be fun to share with everyone.
Yes, make a new thread. If we have approx size then each could use her own pattern. A universal pattern will have clothing too. Most of us need clothing pattern also. I am full of hints to share also when we start the sewing.

I have never made a real doll, just stuffed animals for my boys when they were young. What I did a couple of years ago for my granddaughter was to make her a dress for Xmas, and I cut out a flat shape outline of a doll, kind of like a gingerbread man, and I transfered a picture of her face on the face side of the doll, made blond hair out of yarn and a dress to match her dress. It took a little work to get a good face picture, do that first, then make the doll to fit the face. She was just 3yrs and she went crazy for her baby that looked just like her. It was fun, not fancy, but she is now 8yrs old and still has her doll. She took it to her ballet class to show it off.
Be good to yourself and be good to this earth.

Judy! what a great idea! Perfect for a grandma to do.
They now have places who make dolls with the whole body of a soldier dad printed on the fabric and stuffed. It is to keep a child company when their dad or mom is serving away from home.
