I have a quick tip. the pattern calls for three pieces of felt cut into stars for her collar. I don't care for felt, it has it's place but not on my doll. I make my own felt. Here is how. Take two pieces of fashion fabric and put a piece of wonder under between them. I just take the glue piece off the sheet and place it between the layes of fabric and press until stuck. I then cut out the stars and there are no frayes edges and it has the feel of felt and the edges are very nice.

I had to take a break from Haze, she is too much, too many items lol...

In the meantime, girlfriends came over on Tuesday and we decided to do this doll, called Amelia by Jill Maas. She is a circus Person. She is done, except for her hair. She needs big hair, so I will change it.

I added the body with amature work up and the painted face for you to see.

amatured body with knobby knees too.
