dolskin (sp? )for the body fabric is good. I've made a few, and I like Stump dolls. For me, those are fun and I don't have to worry about fiddly parts.
Oh - for turning fingers, haemostats are great. I also have been known to use stamp tongs to help turn.

Well that wouldnt be hard for me thin skinned with a big mouth.
I made some amish dolls back in the 90's, used my husbands socks and tea to stain them. No faces just blush for the cheeks, no eyes no mouth. I stapple the stuffed sock head and arms to a block of wood.
you can also get doll parts at joanns
