This listing is for the pattern for the basic doll body and the outfit (shirt, dungarees and shoes) and wig shown.

I have had so much fun designing this doll inspired by the concept of the paper dolls I used to love as a child. I remember hours of enjoyment carefully cutting out their paper wigs and clothing and then dressing them up. One moment, the cardboard doll would have lovely long blonde flowing locks, and then the next, a cute head of dark curls.

This is what I now present to you:
One basic doll body with a variety of wigs and clothing to suit every child’s taste and imagination. I trust you will have as much fun making them for the special little people in your life as I have had creating them. New outfits with matching wigs will be added regularly, so be sure to keep an eye out for them as they become available.
