Have been working on a cloth boudoir doll pattern here at home. Overall size is good, about 25", and I like the head and the torso --very nicely shaped boobs. But the hips are too narrow and I'm not sure about the arms either. I'm also having trouble sewing and turning the tiny fingers; I need to look through some of my references for tips on that. Well, it's kept me busy today and will continue to do so.
I'm too fussy sometimes, the main feature of boudoir dolls is their fancy dress, but I'm still working on getting a nice body to first put underneath.
It's been a long time since I made any dolls, guess the last ones were some sock monkeys about four years ago.
