Look. I grew up with cabbage patch dolls. I ADORE cabbage patch dolls. But wtf is up with their business lately?? Raise your hand if you’ve purchased a doll lately. Chances are the room is not full of raised hands. They are VERY hard to find in stores, and when you do see them, they are very specific looks and styles, that are hard to customize or change. If you want a 17-20” doll (like my childhood) you can order online. Those beauties are $69.99 flipping dollars. The ones in store (like Walmart or target) are 14” and range between $22.99-$45.99 depending on where you shop. They are limited release and if you miss out on one, people are selling them online for hundreds of dollars. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why the cabbage patch people are focusing on adoptimals. No one has a flipping key from their doll, so that’s not a selling point. The little cutie mini plastic toys are cute, but I mainly think so due to my love of my baby doll that I used to feed are dress like she were real. I spend 6 hours today trying to find a 14” doll thatbhad medium blonde/ light brown hair and brown eyes to match my youngest child. I might have chipped in for the 20” doll, but I had already purchased one for my older two children and didn’t want a size discrepancy. (Jealously, you know). I could rant more about how they’re not being the best doll company they could be (they could rival American girl if they quit doing these bullshirt side projects) but I will bite my youngest for now. But the BEST part of dollies in general is dressing them up!! If anyone has any good 14” cabbage patch doll patterns, let me know, but in the mean time, here is what I have mocked up, as I was unable to search a good pattern out on Pinterest. My goal is to make these into pdf’s eventually, but as of now, they are jpeg photos of printer paper. If you can print this with no margins, it should be good. GOOD LUCK! 👍🍀
