I created this pattern to be as customizable as possible. This will be great for any "mini me" creations. You can add preferred color to make clothes. You can make this into a male or a female or any character you like.
I will also be posting made dolls using this pattern so keep checking back if you would like to get patterns for hair, clothes and other accessories.
This base doll is created without sewing the parts. You make it in one continuous pattern.
The most problem I had when I started with doll making is the head wobble. I like giving dolls neck but I hated putting wires inside. Also most people who ask me to customize dolls normally ask me to make them for their kids and I did not want to endanger them with wires inside. Though I must admit it will make it easier if there's wire. It will also make it posable.
