I use “southern belle” by Springs. It is a high thread count cotton and I use the natural color. It comes in white and other colors too. I have seen it for sale for about $4 to $6 a yard. I saw that JoAnns had it in stock when I went yesterday- but I think it was 5.99 a yard. I bought a whole bolt at a local quilt shop. I didn’t want to run out!
I like it because it doesn’t have much stretch and the high thread count means it is possible to do fingers and there isn’t too much fraying.
For stuffing, I use Buffalo Batt- Super Fluff.

I bought the minimum purchase from the company, which is about $100 of stuffing. Luckily I have an attic I can store it in. I also shared some with my doll club. This type of stuffing is what I would call a “dry” stuffing. It doesn’t feel slippery on your fingers and you can pack it in very hard.

Mimi, I missed this post before. Glad you’re feeling better. What fabric do you use for your doll bodies? Is it a particular brand of muslin? Do you use a particular brand of fiber fill? Hope you don’t mind my asking, but they look good. I want mine to look that nice. Can I have some of your skill while you’re at it?
