We have bodies for a half scale baby body. The finished doll will be eleven inches long. We also have head, hand/arm and foot/leg armatures to assist you in your sculpting effort. You may see the bodies under the catalog and then babies on this website. Good luck, Jack

You can always purchase the pattern then go to a copy center and have them enlarge or shrink the patteren to the size you need.

Another way to get a cloth body for a small doll is to find an old doll at a resale shop the size you want. Take the doll home and carefully take the doll and remove the body. This is not difficult. Then you can take the body apart with a seam ripper and wash and iron it and use it for a pattern. You can also reduce these patterns with a scanner/copier as Lori suggest.

Hi Kim, I had been looking for a pattern as well for quite a while, its amazing how hard one is to find. I did however find one finally, as well as some great instructions of how to put it all together. If you are interested in getting the patterns, you can e mail me and I would be more than happy to share what I have with you, or anyone else interested. E mail: lilbitsclaycreations@telus.net Have a great day, Chris :)
