Two things in this post: Ellie, the doll my wife has recently made for our 2yr old girl, and the African animal print bean bag she made for our living room.
My wife has recently finished a doll making course with Juliane Strittmatter, a professional puppeteer and doll maker, and her first project is Ellie, an 18" doll. She's all the doll clothes as well as a matching skirt for our daughter.
It seems that doll making is not for the faint of heart. The first tutorial was on creating the doll head by tightly layering the stuffing so it is 'firm, like an orange'. Apparently 'if it doesn't hurt then you're doing it wrong'.
