Yea im running out of space for hobbying so I cant get a sewing machine unless we move haha and thank you it was pretty easy and very relaxing to say the least. I didnt think id like sewing but I do!

Tysm :blush:

Im getting faster with hand sewing! I definitely need to tweak this rough draft pattern in the shoulders and lower belly a bit but for a first go im pretty happy overall! Lightly stuffed with polyfil so it looks more wonky than it is.

Your bodies look awesome…i like how the hands aren’t big and fat like on a lot of the cloth bodies i have seen!!!

I think it looks great. Where did you find a pattern?

That body looks so soft and cuddly. I also like that the hands and feet aren’t disproportionate to the body. Did you make up the pattern?

The first body was a pattern from chelles bootheal babies. The second one was no pattern. I sort of took measurements from a bb body and changed the proportions of limbs and hands because I didnt like how bulky a lot of it was. In short I hand drew it and multiplied the limbs to mirror each other. Definitely need to alter the shoulders more as I dont like how low they sit but another rough draft is in the works!

Are you making them just for your own use or will you be selling them?
