As your questions start popping in, I will try my best to keep this page updated, in the hopes that whatever troubles you might encounter serve as answer to a future kindred soul.
If you would like to read up a bit more on this style of doll making, a waldorf-inspired doll like the Little Fig, please check out the following post where you can find a bit on the philosophy behind them and some handy tips:
1 | I live in Europe and use A4 paper size to print, how can I know if the pattern is coming out at the right size? These are the basic measurements of the pattern on paper, so you can compare and adjust:
BODY
Total length: 30 cms (and a wee bit, depending on how you measure)
leg width: 3.2 cms
dart length: 1.2 cms
distance from crotch to point where the feet dashed markings meet (in seam): 12 cms.
ARM
shoulder to elbow: 6 cms
elbow to hand: 7.5 cms
hand width: 2.5 cms

Bear Dance Crafts | Natalie
The Olive Sparrow | Monika
Reggie's Dolls | Reggie
Little Oke Dolls | Debbie
