FREE PATTERN china head doll body...

Your first 'freebie' of the year!!

This is a very simple body which is ideal for these small china heads...it also fits the small metal 'minerva' heads beautifully, too.

I have stitched across the elbows and knees for this doll as it means I can pose her better, though I haven't shown this in the pattern as it's entirely optional.

To give you a rough size guide, this head measures about 2 1/2 inches across the shoulders and is about 3 inches high, the body makes her total height about 11 1/2 inches.....you can download your FREE PATTERN HERE....enjoy!

New Faces......Freebies

I have just added a few new faces to my free doll pattern list, these can be used as alternatives for Gypsy, Joel or Summer....enjoy!

Queen Anne Cloth Doll

This is my first 'Queen Anne' design. She is made from calico, then stained and painted with needle felted pure alpaca hair. (She also has the most fabulous painted gold boots with laces!!). Her dress is made from vintage cotton prints in the traditional two layers (bodice top over underskirt) with split front, laced with ribbon and trimmed with vintage lace. Check out my FREE PATTERNS for a Queen Anne face to trace for your dolls.

NEW FREE DOLL PATTERNS

I've been working on some new FREE DOLL PATTERNS just for you...and to make life a little easier I've added permanent links to the left of the page so you don't have to search for them (though you made need to scroll down the page to find them!!)...the usual rules apply, PLEASE only make one copy for personal use, no distribution of any kind...if you want to sell the finished dolls, please contact me first, thankyou.

FREE DOLL PATTERNS

I thought I might share these doll patterns with you, they have been available on my old blog, but as I will be concentrating my efforts here I thought they should move with me too. They are all my earliest designs from my first steps in doll making. I made these in felt, but you could use other fabrics.

I hope you enjoy them:

BLOSSOM FAIRY

GYPSY

JOEL

SUMMER
