possibilites are endless at this point.

I too love this set and got it with points as soon as I could. I also only have a 4x4. So, I would like to add my vote for doing the doll with a split design. If it was split at the waist, it would work well.

For now, I was thinking of trying to make my own doll by embroidering a face on felt and then cutting the body out by hand and sewing/embroidering by hand.

Everyone - when making the clothes, you could add bits of lace around the edges of the applique to make it more 3D! After sewing, buttons could also be added.

What a great idea, Skipper to make matching clothes for the girls!
I also love grannyof 9's idea to add lace and other embellishments. I am really going to have to spend some quality time with Sunny when this doll show is over.
Thanks again, Heidi! You are making my 'wish-to-do' list longer with each new set you add! LOL

Skipper that's exactly what I thought when I saw applique - yes, now I can make the dolls clothes in the same fabric as my grand daughters newest outfits! That should be so much fun. Note to me - need to sew faster LOL

As a child, I played with paper dolls and designed their clothes. These are adorable and the boy doll is a must have. Thank you Heidi!! Dreama

I'm so happy to see everyone has great ideas for these paper dolls. I love the matching clothes thing, and yes there is a boy who will be along for these and quite a few others.

You have read my thoughts with the clothes idea. I too used to make doll clothes to match my daughters clothes. I still have the Daisy Kingdom doll clothes and matching dresses from my last daughter. If my memory serves me right you were looking for paper paper dolls and I mentioned the ones at simplicity pattern company. If you are here's the link, they are back now that the site is done.
