Diana’s Patch - Sewing Patterns for Soft Sculpture Dolls, Vintage Dolls and Doll Supplies

Soft Sculpture Body for 12" BBB Pattern and Instructions for a replica body for your 12” BBB Cabbage Patch Kids TM **No longer available on etsy or ebay due to copyright issues. Please contact me for questions. Introduction   If you have a Bean Butt Baby (BBB) that needs a new body, it is easy enough to make one with this pattern.   The pattern pieces are for the body only.   You cannot use just ordinary knit fabric.   Trust me, I’ve tried.   You will not get the same look as a Cabbage Patch Kid TM .   Jersey knit stretches a lot; therefore, your doll will be a lot bigger than the pattern.   You have to use an interlocking 100% polyester fabric.   Joann’s Fabrics and Walmart sell something similar, but it is stretchier than the original CPK fabric and snags easily.   The original Cabbage Patch Kids TM were made with a fabric called Windsor Comfort .   The factory was called Atlanta Fabrics, based in Atlanta, Georgia.

I finally got my latest patterns finished! It took so long, due to so many interruptions and the fact that this has a total of 9 (nine) outfits (3 for each size.)  The pattern has 45 pages of just the pattern pieces.  The instructions are 16 pages.  I highly recommend purchasing the digital version since it has so many pages.   Available on Etsy  and  eBay .
