See basic instruction for doll on page 19.

FEATURES: Stitch a black eyeline with yarn, add long black lashes and blue button eyes. Make three stitches to form a turned up nose. Cut a mouth from red felt and sew to face. Separate lips with a long white stitch (Figure 1).

HAIR: See method N-34, page 32 for braided hair.

DRESS: Cut blouse from soft blue material, pattern design B-7, page 28. Fit to doll with opening at back. Cut skirt from the same material, using pattern design B-14, page 29. Gather around waist with small stitches and fit over blouse. Trim both pieces with rick rack or ribbon. The apron is a 6 square of white organdy gathered at one edge and sewn to an 18 strip of white ribbon. Tie the apron over the waist to hide the seam (Figure 2).

PANTIES: Cut from white cotton material, pattern design C-3, page 29 and trim with narrow lace.

SHOES: Use felt to cut from pattern design B-23, page 30. Embroider a tiny flower on each toe.

HAT: Use a 3 by 11 piece of crisp white fabric and a smaller piece for the back (Figure 3). Gather the larger piece to fit the back and hem edges. Turn the lower corners of the hat back from the face. A tiny safety pin will hold the hat in place.
