More Isabella and Isaac

In the 18 months since I started making dolls I have been refining the pattern for the dolls body. I began by using the pattern from Linda Carr's book, Classic Cloth Dolls. However the pattern I have created for Isabella and Isaac, while building on the original differs in several ways. These dolls are taller because I have lengthened the legs and their bodies are a little slimmer with the girl doll having a definite waist. This makes them look a little older, more like 10 year olds than 7 year olds. A bigger change was that I now make the arms seperately so that they can be jointed and forward facing.
