Default Life sized doll patterns?

Hi,

I'd love to make a couple of life sized dolls for "my little girls" for
Christmas this year. I've had a look on-line but must not have the right
search engine or something because I've only found two.

Has anyone made one? Anyone have any ideas on how I can make one? (Well,
two.)

Thanks,
Murielle

Hallo Murieele , if you want very `plain` dolls i can you a pattern i
used for many years ,
If you want a pattern a little more `realistic , there are books with
such patterns ,,,

Is it possible to enlarge the pattern here

I found tons of references when I searched, but free patterns are rare, it
seems.

Hi Mirjam,

I will look for these books in the library. I'm sure they will have at
least one.

Thank you for your kind offer of the pattern, but I don't want to put you to
any trouble.

I evnision a rag-doll kind of doll that will be cuddly and soft but they can
dress in their clothes. I know I've seen dolls like this. I may even have
seen patterns on sale at one time or another. I guess I'll have to keep
looking.

Thanks,
Murielle

Hi,

Thank you so much for the link. I will try this small scale first and see
how it works--there's a birthday coming at the end of September so I have
lots of time to try it.

Thank you,
Murielle

Hi again,

What key words did you use when you searched? Perhaps I'm not using the
right ones.

Thanks,
Murielle

As a mere male I am confused. What is a "life sized doll"? How large are
dolls?

Hi Bruce,

I'm looking for a pattern for a soft "rag-doll" type that would be about the
same size as my little three year old cousins. I think they would get a
kick out of dolls that can wear their clothes.

Would this be of any use. It comes up at 28.1/2 inch tall.
I know it is designed for making on a serger but perhaps you can adapt
it.
