Bit of a whimsy doll

I have started to make my daughters Christmas present and am so excited, I just hope that I can make it half as good as this lovely lady. The pattern was purchased from http://www.bitofwhimsydolls.com/ and if the doll goes well I shall be making lots of clothes and accessories for it, so shall be purchasing lots of patterns. Here is my doll so far, now for the tricky bit as I have to start sewing all the bits together. The pretty fabric next to the doll I am going to use to make her dress from. Wish me luck and lets hope the sewing machine behaves itself
