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 |

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 wrote in message ...

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.

Hi again,
What key words did you use when you searched? Perhaps I'm not using the right ones. Thanks, Murielle "L" wrote in message ... "Murielle" wrote in message news:taKnk.5175$%b7.698@edtnps82...

As a mere male I am confused. What is a "life sized doll"? How large are
dolls? -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney |

Life sized doll patterns?
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. http://www.janome.com/index.cfm/Proj...l/Vanessa_Vale ntine_Serger_Doll Shirley In message , L writes "Murielle" wrote in message news:taKnk.5175$%b7.698@edtnps82...
