Little 9th Doctor (Doctor Who)


This pattern is quite similar to my Little Animals patterns (found here), and thus the clothes made for this doll should fit onto any animals you make using those other patterns (although they may be a little baggy, as the arms and legs of this doll are slightly larger.)


Please be aware that any finished products shouldn't be sold as Doctor Who is copyrighted by the BBC, but any personal use for them is perfectly fine :)
