I just followed the instructions Runo provided with her 1/2 big girl doll pattern for skin covering. I purchased stretch cotton fabric in a flesh tone. All you do is make the shell of the doll and sew the pieces of the skin together and since the skin covering is stretchy it just pulls right over. Hope that helps.

Lanika can't wait to see how your doll turns out! They are so fun to make I started out with Runo's little Angel patterns, her bigger doll patterns are not really hard but are a lot of work, well worth it when they are all done though. This year thanks to Runo I made all my presents. Aside from hemming pants I've never done this kind of sewing, her pictures and instructions are a wonderful learning tool!

Failed Ferret    by Star    Date : 2009/01/11(Sun) 14:36    No.241    USA   
I tried to attempt Runo's ferret, and I failed terribly. It is not Runo's fault; her patterns are always very good. Runo makes a wonderful ferret. Mine is a weasel. I will practice hard and try to do better in the future. My suggestion is to always make head gusset the same color as body, not like I did with a lighter color, or ferret will look like a skunk. Also eyes too far apart looks like obese squirrel instead of ferret.

Dachsund!!    by Samantha   Date : 2010/07/25(Sun) 03:29    No.399    USA   
I haven't made a stuffed animal for a long time, and this was my first time working with fur. I can't way my parents appreciated having orange fur all over the floor... but I'm pretty happy with the results!! I don't think I'll make another one, though, because I don't have a whole lot of patience and as a 13 year old that's always going from one thing to another, I don't have a ton of time to make one.
But because it's summer, it took me 2 days to finish.
Which still felt like forever because I could only do a few stitches at a time since I had places to be and things to do.(:
And, no, it doesn't have eyes yet. I could only find 18 mm ones.

I started making these last year after a co-worker pointed out this website to me. Needless to say, I am in love with making them now! I've changed the pattern up just a little bit and have scaled it down some, so the kitty only stands about 5 inches high from ear to toe. :) I made it for my father as a father's day gift.

Keith and Tullulah    by Elaine    Date : 2015/08/02(Sun) 00:28    No.591    Texas USA   
Hello, my name is Elaine. I have autism and sewing is how I show my creativity. I made these two nekomimi dolls one was made using runo's tall boy pattern. His name is Keith. His little sister, Tullulah, was made using the nekomimi pattern with arms from the merman pattern. I modified her arms since they were too long. But I absolutely love them! I have been fasinated by runo's work since I was 13. Thanks for sharing your awesome patterns, Runo. You are quite an inspiration!

I made the legs shorter and bigger breasts for her. I also made only one layer of fabric because I didn't want to make so many layers and to save fabric for more dolls <3

Dear Krishna, as I already mentioned above, I found all instructions on Runo's home page, studied all her available instructions for different dolls, and then try to make something out of that. So, you can see her instructions, they are very, very good, and easy to follow.

Thank you very much for your great patterns. I used the patterns of the Kimono doll and the minidoll (edited sizes) to make this creepy cat lady. Just love her so much!
