 Introduction

The 6” Chibi Doll Base is a versatile pattern that can easily be customized.
It is comprehensive, providing full written instructions and example photos to
guide you through the doll-making process. There is minimal sewing, as there
are only two main pieces to be attached in the end: (1) the head/upper-body,
and (2) the legs/lower-body. In addition to fiberfill stuffing, pipe cleaners will
also be inserted inside the doll’s body to keep the doll stabilized!

I hope you enjoy this pattern and use your creativity to customize the doll!
