If you want it to feel like cotton, then just stuff it with cotton. If you want detailed instructions on how to make a cloth doll for a little girl, just Google it - there are plenty of free doll patterns on the Web. Again, this was a one-of-a-kind art project and other than the fairly detailed how-to I've offered on the blog, I'm not in the business of distributing doll instructions. And regarding what little girls have to fear, I think little girls in other countries, like Syria, have a lot more to fear from America than little girls in America have to fear from anyone else. We tend to bomb them, not they us. Sorry if this sounds curt. It's just that there really are plenty of easy doll patterns out there and I'm just not rah rah America.Catherine McEverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017664475915181565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366085947364639757.post-77248401231655608532016-08-30T09:13:37.934-07:002016-08-30T09:13:37.934-07:00I was just wondering how you could make a little g...I was just wondering how you could make a little girls cool were it feels like cotton.God Bless America so we don't have to use the doll.please sender soon❤��<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366085947364639757.post-24428176968643263082016-08-29T18:13:07.605-07:002016-08-29T18:13:07.605-07:00Thanks, but I don't really understand your que...Thanks, but I don't really understand your question.

The images come' from various vintage survival and first aid books.

If you want to make a doll, decide the size you want it to be and what you want it to look like instead of trying to duplicate this one. Use your creativity. And if you create a pattern, it will be for your doll, not this doll.
