Body Pillow Beauty: A plush doll in progress
Body Pillow Beauty: A plush doll in progress
The reason I'm calling her a body pillow beauty is because her torso is a folded body pillow that has had one end split and sewn into the base of butt cheeks. This is a great way to begin a plush doll, its perfectly torso sized and comes in handy when making a pattern around it. I wish I had taken pics along the journey thus far but I got caught up in crafting haha it was a lot of trial and error. Essentially the pillow is in two pillow cases, a V shaped front case that holds the insert, and a W shaped back case that makes up the butt and thighs. I sewed these two cases together along the sides, around the hips/crotch, between the butt cheeks to form the crack, and then did a bunch of hand sewing to give her better shape. I also put a zipper in the back in case I need to take the pillow out to make her easier to store. That was kind of my whole concept for using a body pillow, but back then she was just going to be a torso. Thus far she actually can be stuffed into a very small suitcase, but after she has a head, arms, and legs I don't know how well that will work out haha.
I plan to add foam butt cheeks and silicone breast forms once I find the right ones. I was going to use a pair of quty fits by tomax that I bought but they're just too small for me. I tried to augment them with the ends of panty hose filled with microbeads but results weren't as realistic or smooth as I'd hoped they would be :\ The skeleton is made of PVC pipe and joints, Romex wiring, duct tape, and has fabric joints based on coyote9's for the knees and eventually shoulders, and I'm also going to borrow his concept for making the forearms.
The feet will be mostly based on coyote9's dolls. I wrapped my socked foot in duct tape and cut the whole thing in half to use as the base of my pattern. I decided to pass up separated toes except for the big toe and I came up with these cuties.
I made armeatures for the tops out of dollar store floral wire and then slid them into the tunnels of flat top pieces I sewed that will be stitched to the top of the feet.
Then I stitched both parts together around the toes. I'll be doing a little soft sculpting to the foot bottoms to give them more shape before I finish attaching the armeatures.
Next I'll be adding the ball of the ankle, and the tendon to the back of the heels so I can finish up the legs. She's a bit ugly and lumpy now but with some strategically placed foam and a spandex skin eventually, I think she's going to turn out better than I ever expected

Thanks for sharing the pics and progress you are a lot further along than me. I am still working out a pattern for my project.

I was hoping to use a separate anal insert, like the anal sensei since it looks like a butthole when inside out

But I decided it wasn't worth giving up the esthetics of a pretty smooth booty.
I can't wait to see what you come up with! Its great to see the creativity and originality people use on their doll builds. And what better payoff is there for creating a piece of art than being able to give it a good dicking when you're through

These caught my eye (big breast type of guy... but at $600 not sure they are worth it!)

I glued the PVC pipe inside the knee joint pipe fittings and duct taped them for extra hold, and added a piece of Romex over the top so the knee would be less floppy.
Next I made knee caps by sewing half-circles of fabric together, stuffing them, and then stitching them down around the fabric knee joint. I also added strips of Romex to each side of the knee to make the joints even stiffer. You can also see black foam tubing I put over the PVC pipe in the thighs and shins to simulate bone and add bulk to the skeleton.
I sewed the outer skin for the shin and foot and slid it over the skeleton, added a foam tube in each shin like in the thighs for smoothness and squish ability, stuffed them and sewed them shut around the knees.
She can actually stand on her own if her skeleton is posed right and she has something to lean against. I'm pretty happy with the shape.
I still have to finish sewing the fleece around the feet. But aside from that her legs are all finished and she is looking miiiiiighty fine from where I'm sitting haha
For the breasts, I plan to order 1000g D-cup breast forms from amazon thanks to BaronM's Bambi thread. They won't be as real feeling as say Busty Aichan, but I'm trying to keep costs low and having already purchased quty tits that are too small, I don't want to drop $200 on another breast toy.

Maybe something furry...
Or robotic...
Or maybe the scalie route. Oh the endless possibilities

I wonder if round wire on the sides would be a better choice?Romulus wrote:One warning: You may have some problems down the road with the Romex deforming due to repeated bending and unbending of the knee.
Romex layed flat on the front should be ok. Of course as the knee is bent it will want to pull and then when the leg straightened will want to buckle or bulge out? Maybe just round wire in the tubing core or sides only?
I'm very impressed by the overall design and pattern work too.

Planning the skeleton was very alien for me, especially when I thought I was going to have to bust out power tools. I'm so glad no one tried to help me in the hardware store, because I was all over that place just looking at everything trying to put pieces together in my head. I'm still just going with the flow, kind of making it up as I go along and seeing what works.
The Romex definitely gets deformed, especially her spine and it causes the skeleton to shrink a little. On the knee, the top piece was left bowed out enough so there is enough slack to bend the knee all the way, but I'm not sure how the side pieces will fare. Since they're flat against the sides and are being bent sideways it gives the perfect amount of resistance. Probably not the greatest long term skeleton, but I think it only cost me $20 at the hardware store and if something ever goes wonky, I can just open up the zipper in her back and have access to the skeleton for fixes. But in the meantime her knees are actually proving to be my favorite part. There is enough resistance so that while her torso isn't quite heavy enough to fully sit back on her feet, when she's sitting on me cowgirl I can press gently on her thighs and she bounces up and down on my junk. Her legs also bounce around when you're going at her from other angles, I really enjoy it. And she has practical uses! Shes serving as a very erotic and convenient tablet stand on my lap at the moment hahaha
