One of my historical "art doll" patterns : ) Our gruesome Plague Doctor stands 10" high (25cm approx) when completed. The pattern has easy to follow instructions with lots of reference photos and full sized pattern sheet.
This is the digital version of the pattern and makes a stump doll with jointed head and arms. Instructions are included for the full costume which includes hat, coife and short cape, tunic, medicinal pouch, gloves and cane, The mask is an integral part of the head.
If you are looking from something different to sew - do try him. Also makes a brilliant steam punk or gothic character : )
