the dolls take me from 12 to 16 hours to make each one. They have a flat body that I double stitch and stuff firmly. The body is real ugly until it gets its dress and mop cap. The shape of the head fills out much of the cap. I sew the shoulders allowing space to pull the head through, than gather around the neck to fit and secure to the body. I can type out instructions and make up a pattern, if you will make at least one for a child with a devestating illness from it. It takes about a yard and a half for each body, then a yard and a half for each dress, plus trim, so you decide. All I ask is to be given credit as the doll designer. Send me a PM and tell me what you'd like me to do. It would be easier also to use your own pattern but wouldn't turn out the same of course. I get lots of satisfaction giving away my dolls to a child in need.
