In true Martha style, this project is professionally put together for you and the step-by-step instructions are a breeze to follow. The pattern is in downloadable pdf format. This doll requires cotton jersey for the skin and rolled up batting for stuffing (though, if you didn’t have this on hand, regular polyfill stuffing would be fine).

This doll is probably more suited to those who have a reasonable amount of doll-making experience. However, I think if you stick with it, no matter what your doll-making skill level, and have all the necessary materials, and follow each step as described, it would be a rewarding project to undertake (and there would a be a lot of good learning along the way too!).

The patterns are in gif format and the tutorial is very detailed with excellent pictures. The project recommends you use cotton jersey for the skin (or a fabric with the same type of stretch) and you will also need to have some fabric paint on hand to paint the facial features.
