What are Sarah® & Hannah® Dolls?
Sarah en Hannah are tall, 50cm*, girl dolls that are produced by Gotz/Goetz/Götz Puppenmanufaktur in Germany. These dolls are sold under two names but they are exactly the same. The new catalog only mentions Sarah but if you search the internet for Sarah and Hannah, you will find them under both names.
The quality is outstanding, these dolls are flawless. The vinyl is beautiful in color, shape and feels superior. The hair is thick and great quality. Doll hair is something that I find very important and these dolls have fabulous hair.
Then there is the movement, Sarah and Hannah move beautifully. The joints are great and I love that there is no fabric on the doll so you can clean them easily. All in all, I can highly recommend these dolls to anyone who is looking for a wonderful girl doll that will stand up to lots of play.
*the box states that the dolls are 50cm tall but if you measure them, they are more like 47cm

The middle doll, left front, is 43cm tall and has been discontinued. This older Little Chou Chou® doll will fit most of the 43cm doll patterns that we have for BABY Born® dolls as long as the clothes are not tight on BABY Born® and made with knit fabrics.

What are the differences between the older and newer version? Let me see, both are on the table in front of me.
Even though there are all these differences, the dolls' measurements are the same and they will fit exactly the same clothes.* The new BABY Born® has eyelashes, the old one doesn't.* The new BABY Born® doll has eyes that close, the old one doesn't* The new doll's head is a little smaller.* When the old BABY Born® stands, the feet touch.* The new BABY Born® can also be a boy, like mine, the old one cannot.* The older BABY Born® has 4 holes in its back the newer version has a screw.

The smaller doll is 36cm and this My First Annabell® is a smaller version of the larger doll. She also has the shorter fabric arms and legs and she can wear short sleeves.
The Annabell® doll faces change from time to time but the measurements have stayed the same over the years.
Look what I found! I'm setting up the new Wollyonline website and in my files I found another free pattern. It will fit Little BABY Born dolls 32cm and dolls of similar size. This was part of a free gift to a doll club some time late last year : )
I had forgotten all about it but here it is. It's only in Dutch, sorry, it was a Dutch doll club : )

Kijk eens wat ik gevonden heb! Ik ben druk bezig om de patronen over te zetten naar de nieuwe website en ineens vind ik een kant-en-klaar gratis patroon.
Dit was vorig jaar voor Stitch@Home en ik was helemaal vergeten dat ik dit gemaakt had. Toch weer een leuke verrassing.

Measuring Dolls for Wollyonline Doll Patterns
You will need to take all measurements shown in the picture above, or the list below. Once you have those, you can look at which patterns are suitable for your doll.1) Total Height: head to toe in cm
2) Chest: under the armpits over the shoulder blades and across the chest in cm
3) Waist: around the waist in cm
4) Hip: around the fullest part of the hips in cm
5) Neck to Waist: from the cervical to the waistline in cm
6) Inside Leg: from the crotch to the soles in cm
7) Arm & Shoulder Length: from the side of the neck to the wrist bone in cm
8) Head Circumference: around the head right above the ears in cm
Which Patterns are suitable for my doll?
All Wollyonline patterns are created to fit a certain 'height' doll. This doll height is the total height: top of the head to soles of the feet. Patterns suitable for 43cm dolls are created to fit dolls of 43cm total height.The correct size isn't there?
Choose a larger/smaller pattern when: the chest/waist/hip of your doll is larger or smaller. These differences will immediately result in doll clothes that are either too small or too large and are very hard to change.Choose the pattern anyway when: all sizes are correct BUT the inside leg or arm & shoulder are shorter/longer. This is the sleeve and pants length and this is easy to change by adding or taking away seam allowance.
I'm moving the Wollyonline website and have started to move the free patterns. You can go here to download your free Wollyonline pattern:

Not all free patterns are up yet, but all will be there by the end of the weekend.
