I've also found three yahoo groups... clothdollpassion, clothdollmaking and primmragchatters
I'm back in my little girl heaven! (I just got the 1982 booklet that instructs how to make the Little People Pals, which became Cabbage Patch kids.) Also I've found a book called "Anatomy of A Doll" by Susanna Oroyan very helpful- it tells you ways to do different things, like create a round (baseball) head or sculpture the faces.
