Here is the 15 inch Madeline doll that is so popular now. She has a soft cloth body all over, with a yarn wig and embroidered facial features.

She comes dressed in a blue felt coat, yellow hat, school dress, shoes and socks. And yes, the slightly crooked smile is sewn that way on purpose!

And, this Madeline is very huggable with a soft filling. Her hip and shoulder joints bend nicely so she easily sits upright as you'd like to pose her.

As you can see in the lower photo, she enjoys hanging out with the other dolls in the Cyber Doll House. The doll sitting next to her is my 25 inch Raggedy Ann, so you can get an idea of Madeline's size.

You'll find patterns to outfit her right here at the BellaOnline Doll Making site.

I like my Madeline doll because she reminds me so much of myself as a young girl - spunky and adventurous, but with a kind heart to set it off!

Madeline has endeared us to her from her books and movie. Even as an adult I enjoy watching Madeline!

The photo to the right is my Madeline doll in a dress designed by me and free for you to make from instructions here. This dress is made from a 100 per cent cotton calico, which is my favorite fabric to sew with. You'll need just less than half a yard (half a meter), plus trims.

Highly Recommended!
