You may want to look at Susanna Oroyan's book "Anatomy of a Doll" (it has some basic instructions). You can use nylon but if these guys are going to be knocked around a lot I would suggest a strethcy knit. Good Luck!!! -Jill H. --- Personal replies to: jnhamilton <jnhamilton-AT-ameritech.net> --- List replies to: puptcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- Admin commands to: majordomo-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu
