Soft doll tutorial

http://www.youcanmakethis.com/
has a pattern for 24" soft doll and a bunch of clothes!

Just a tip that I caught when I watched it on MS that she shared that is not on the directions...trace the arms and legs on fabric, then sew on the line, THEN cut it out.  Makes it a lot easier than trying to sew little pieces.  She also shared she puts a little rice in the bottom of the body part if you want it to sit.  I've made one so far and it's a fun gratifying project (ie turns out like you expect).    I'm going to make some more for gifts.
