Written for both the beginner and more advanced crafter in mind and includes: basics of making soft dolls; lists of tips and sources; 23 clear and easy doll patterns-to-size; step-by-step instructions; 50 clothing and accessory patterns; photographs of each doll.
It is a good book for someone who is starting, but if you are already advanced in dolls, I do not recommend it.
The Best Cloth Doll Making Book I've Seen
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is written very clearly so that the directions are easy to follow. The dolls look great when completed. The clothing fits well and the sewer is able to create many different looks using the same basic doll. The patterns are full sized, so that there is no need to try to expand pattern pieces. My homeschooled teen aged granddaughter used this book for some of her "home economics" sewing projects and made several very attractive dolls. She was somewhat of a beginning sewer and was able to follow the directions and make very nice dolls.This is a very good book for both the experienced doll maker and the beginner at this fun craft.
Wonderful; very complete

This is a great book for people who like variety without complicated patterns. There is one doll that can be outfitted with many different outfits that are provided here. You can also make rag, baby, and ethnic-style dolls. It's a great book for those with little experience who want to learn more
