It's under Rei Gisborne, I think lol. The channel is ancient, I only have one doll one up I think. The video should be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BectUg07F5k or look up Rei Gisborne,dukesix9 wrote:Great idea. I've thought about doing this myself. Always torn between making one with soft stretchy type fabric (spandex) vs something you can make taut (linen or sheets)

Actually, I traced the original pattern on graph paper, which resulted in 20+ pages. I do intend to scan them sometime and write a tutorial to go with them, because they might be hard to make sense of as-is.
Ideally I could do 170cm, 160cm, and 150cm variants, by +/- the image size and tweaking the results slightly. The head size could remain the same, as it does in reality in relation to body size.
What material do you have now? This doll is stretch velour, an excellent choice. Heads are good to practice on, because they don't require much fabric, and a good looking face can make up for less than perfect body results. For a beginning project, just painting the face looks okay.

It consists of some internal 'pillows' for the limbs and torso, covered by stretchy skin casing--horizontal stretch is important. The internal parts could be stitched from your leftover fabric remnants. You would need to buy a few yards of lycra fabric. Just go to Joanns and look in the knits section for something you like, and pick up a few fabric paints also.

Re: Fabric doll 6.0
It's all going to be covered up by the external cover anyway, so yes. You need two interior arms, two interior legs, one interior torso, and one interior head. Any fabric will do really.
Then you need to do the external cover/skin. For that you'll need to buy some stretchy fabric probably 2-3 yards which is not too expensive. They sell a flesh colored, stocking-like fabric for dance wear, you could look for that. But work on the internal pieces first.

Apologies to moderator if this is not the right section to post a link--not looking for much from it, but a few dollars come from it for time spent putting it in presentable PDF format, it's okay
