Updating this website, I stumbled upon these doll patterns, and decided to make them available again.
All of these patterns are free to print and use.
But… these are OLD patterns from ~15 or more years ago, designed to print on 8.5″ x 11″ paper, but at a very low resolution. (I’m working on improving them, right now.)
As usual, these are free patterns for personal use. (You CAN make dolls from them, and then sell those dolls. It’s just the patterns that are for personal use, meaning that you can’t put your name on the patterns and sell them.)
If you would like to feature these patterns on your own website, you MUST include my copyright with the patterns. (In other words, be considerate. Please don’t remove my copyright and claim you created the patterns, yourself.)
If you’d like to reproduce these patterns for a class or workshop, that’s fine as long as the copyright remains on them, and you don’t charge anything extra for the patterns.
These patterns moved here from my (former) Wild Art Dolls website. If any links don’t seem to work, let me know in a comment, below. Thanks!
Here are the patterns & links. If any of the links don’t work for you, leave a comment and let me know.

Instructions for creating Belle and her clothing (5 pages).
Please read Belle de Lautrec and Tallulah – important reading, before you begin.

Dangerous Women – a free, online doll pattern Print it from your screen, and/or enlarge the pattern so the “one inch” line really is one inch. The doll shown in this post’s header (above) is made from this pattern. (I later added optional wings.)
Margaret Mary Fitzcalory-Smythe – a free, online doll pattern with no directions yet.
MAJOR WARNING: She is a VERY skinny doll. (Yes, that was a BIG “oops” on my part…) I recommend enlarging each pattern piece by 1/4″ to 1/2″ on ALL sides.

These free doll patterns are fantastic! The detailed instructions and helpful tips make it easy for beginners to create beautiful dolls.
Wow, Aisling! Thanks so much for sharing these patterns – Belle de Lautrec looks absolutely adorable, and I love that she comes with detailed instructions. Its so generous of you to move them all to this site and keep them free. Ive already downloaded the Belle pattern and cant wait to start sewing her sister, Tallulah. The warning about Margaret Mary being super skinny is hilarious and super helpful – definitely saving that with a 1/4 enlargement! The faces from Art Doll Quarterly would be perfect for her, too. Keep up the amazing work, and thanks for the heads-up on the site redesign – Ill definitely stick around!
