PDF Doll Pattern and Tutorial

Doll PDF & Instructions are hard to follow

I had los of issues with the doll pattern and instructions. I have been sewing for fifty years and have sewn two wedding gowns. With all my experience I found the pattern difficult and the instructions unclear at times. Cutting pattern pieces out of paper and right on the stitching line is actually not normal for pattern-making. I have made dolls in the past and found this pattern unlike anything I experienced before. I had to change to my own process to proceed and tried many different ways to cut out the pattern on cardboard, for example, and other pieces with the proper seam allowance. There was no mention of the need for an ink jet printer in the initial description (which I don’t have), so had to draw the face on the fabric. The lining for the dress is impossible to follow and the pictures don’t help. Very disappointed because the picture of the doll is not how it ends up looking, especially the fit of the dress. It isn’t worth the cost of the PDF and instructions. Don’t attempt unless you are well skilled to alter the process as you go along.
