{"product_id":"tab-jointed-cloth-doll-18-cloth-doll-pattern","title":"Tab-Jointed Cloth Doll 18\" Cloth Doll Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis unique cloth doll pattern features tab-joints which are simply extensions of fabric on the arms, legs, and body that attach inside the doll’s torso. The tab-joint is much stronger than a button and thread joint and requires no additional hardware, making it a safe and durable doll for active play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it has the same size and proportions of a standard 18” doll, it can wear 18” doll clothes, shoes, and hats.  It makes a great option for modeling clothing as it can hold a variety of poses and stand unassisted if wearing sturdy shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA simple two-piece jointed head pattern is included, but the body pattern can be adapted to suit a variety of other doll heads included Waldorf types.  Although this doll can be made with a single layer of woven fabric, it is suggested that it be made with two layers of fabric to give the seams a smoother finish and added durability.  The outer skin layer can be made with a knit fabric which allows for three-dimensional details to be incorporated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstructions are included for attaching hair wefts, but other preferred hair options can be used instead, including a purchased 11” – 12” doll wig.  Materials for this doll are easy to source and the design is not overly complicated so it can easily be sewn up in a day!  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePDF sewing pattern by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pixiefaire.com\/collections\/thimbles-and-acorns\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThimbles and Acorns\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTA Pattern #2020-28\u003cbr\u003ePDF Pattern for\u003cbr\u003e18\" Tab-Jointed Cloth Doll\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Fabrics:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase Fabric in light to medium weight fabrics such as quilting cotton, or muslin.
