Freebie Friday - Oh the Generosity

We are very fortunate in the soft doll community to have so many doll makers who are so giving and generous with their talents.  This Friday, I'm focusing on a few designers who really out do themselves with their generous free patterns and tutorials.

First off, Judi Ward.  Judi has so many free patterns and lessons on her website and picture trail.  Click here for Judi's Bluette manikin's.   These are full sized dolls folks!  And another full size doll, Peaches Ballerina here, a great pattern for beginners.  Plus, a very well photographed doll hand tutorial here and  tutorial on how Judi makes a baby doll here (I especially like the bit on how to measure Tibetan lamb hair for a wig to fit the doll).  Judi also has a pattern for a very simple baby doll for free here.

Rivkah Rosenfeld has several interesting freebies on her blog.  First, click here for a full size pattern for a fairy doll pattern and click here for a unique torso pattern and technique.  Rivkah also has a free fairy wings pattern here and a tutorial on making high heel shoes here. 

Antonette Cely shares her fabulous experience via several doll making tutorials here.  These cover wefting hair, making eyes, making better hands, shoe making, stuffing techniques, printing on fabric and jewellery making.  Not to mention the free videos of Antonette Cely's, I've posted those before, click here if you want to be reminded just how generous Noni Cely is.  She also provides a pattern for a simple toy doll to be made for needy children here.

Know anyone else who has a wealth of free patterns or tutorials available for cloth doll making on the net?  Tell us about them.  We love free!
