doll material

[rin-666.livejournal.com]

Hi guys

I'd like to start making some dolls (well mainly an awesome idea of a doll I've had for my daughter) and I was wondering what you all think are the best materials for doing so? I've read a lot of you use felt, is it any particular kind? Also I'd like to make fairly large dolls (like rag doll size) any tips?

Thanks fo any advice :D
