Use a sharp pencil to trace around your doll's foot to make the outline of the sole. Trim out the sole pattern and check it against the bottom of your doll's fit, marking and trimming the pattern if necessary. Flip the pattern over and check it against the doll's other foot. Like humans, dolls sometimes have slight variations in their foot shape. Mark the top of the pattern with the initials that identify the doll.
