NOTE - If you use this pattern to make a doll, please attribute the design of the pattern to Dixie Redmond in your pictures that you post online. This pattern is provided for your own personal use.
Today I tweaked this pattern I made in 2007. What you see above is the tweaked version. Print the above pattern on an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper (standard size). It should make up a doll in the 10-12 inch range, depending on decisions you make while making it. It's a template pattern where you trace around the shapes with a pencil on cloth and sew directly onto the drawn lines. Then you turn and stuff very firmly. The head is sized to be able to add paperclay over the cloth. I usually prime the cloth head and shoulders with gesso before adding the paperclay. Anyway, if you try this pattern, please send along a picture of what you make. Join the Maida Dolls Group if you'd like to be in a group with other doll makers interested in making antique inspired dolls.
