Finding Good Cloth Doll Patterns!
I'm also looking to make high heeled capable feet, so that I can make heels for her. I'm not sure how tall I want to make the doll just yet. But I plan on making her custom clothing.
Any help in the direction of a pattern or techniques for learning how to make such a pattern would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Finding Good Cloth Doll Patterns!
Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, my search only turned up some links to the Nunodoll website and some links that are no longer working.carlys_guy wrote:go to the top of the page and click advanced search then type in cloth doll patterns there are a lot of entries with some sites with patterns.

However.....I did turn up a website called Doll Makers Journey. It's not a place for life size dolls or sex dolls. BUT, it is a place FILLED with cloth doll patterns and tutorials and techniques. Between that and the Nunodoll site, I'm sure with some effort I can cobble together that will work for my needs.

Edit: Here's a link someone mentioned in an old post that still works: http://kids.nunodoll.com/lifesize/girl08.html I didn't look too far into it, but apparently that one pictured is a double sized version of a smaller doll which there is a pattern for. Doesn't look too bad though!

A few people bought it. Nobody reviewed it yet, but they didn't complain or ask for a refund either, so hopefully they found it to be of some use.
I started out making a Nuno doll as well. It turned out okay, but they must be handled with care, since they need a stretchy and lightweight stocking-type fabric outer skin, which tends to fall apart, at least my first efforts did.
Anyway, I ended up abandoning that method and drawing my own pattern for more heavy duty fabric--which started out as a Frankenstein of ideas, but went through enough mods that it is 99% my own creation.
I like the less cartoonish look as well. I like to use inexpensive round teddy bear type eyes and modify them.
It's interesting how often people search for sexy items on Etsy (which are allowed, as long as the listing is tastefully done). It would actually be a good place to sell handmade dolls of any type, as long as they are individually made which is what it's all about.

Re: Finding Good Cloth Doll Patterns!
Like everything else, this is obviously going to be trial and error. First, I'll be doing some designing and then making my own pattern.
