I'm trying to click the links to the tutorials, but it won't navigate off of this page. Where is the template? Thanks!

The instructions don't say to add a seam allowance, but it sure looks like I need one.

What i did to increase pattern by 150%. Download doll pattern as pdf. Select print option. See Page Sizing and Handling, select Poster, increase sizing to 150%. This will increase the image to 150% and print your pattern into 4 8x11 sheets(like a puzzle). Cut it up and transfer to a cardboard stencil. Hope this helps.

You guys are right. You really don't need the template. A simple rag doll template is easy to make. Use your imagination! Martha Stewart is all about crafts, and DOING IT YOURSELF. She gives ideas and suggestions...and, I'm sure, she fully expects you to take those ides and suggestions and 'run with them' ! Make each craft your very own with your own special touches and additions! Have fun with your crafts!

I just finished making these dolls to use as party favors for my daughter's birthday. They turned out so cute and are really fast to make once you get going. Thanks for the inspiration!

My daughter's and I made these dolls with some of their old, outgrown clothes. They came out great. Plus this was a great compromise with my oldest daughter, who HATES to get rid of anything. Reusing some of her old things, gives them a new life.

These dolls are so easy to make and make great gifts. It's also a nice way to use up little scraps of material.

My 7 year old daughter and I made a pair of these dolls, it was the first time she really helped me sew. I even let her sew the heads on (the only bit of straight stitching). She then Stuffed while I sewed. They look great, when my husband saw the pictures on the website, he was a bit surprised at how alike they looke dto ours. My daughter wants to make a Cruella de Ville version, we will have to do that soon.

I am definitely going to try out these dolls. I now have 3 great-nieces who would love them. To one of the previous comments...I would leave a 1/4" seam allowance, 1/8" might give way.

I'm going to make this doll flat with scrapbook paper in a reduced size for my daughter's scrapbook. I plan to make the dolls in her and her friends likeness. They could be holding hands, skipping rope (using yarn or string), dancing, etc. ect.....

I was browsing through etsy a couple weeks ago and ran across these dolls... what a coincidence to see them on the show! I made one for my daughter today during her nap using fabric scraps. She loves it! I have enlarged the template even more to make a really big one! Fun, easy and CUTE! So easy to personalize, too!
