This is, of course, her head
And her bod.
A leg.
Her hair (as cute as it looks, it's a pain in the ASS to do!!!).
And here she is in her entirety. I didn't follow a pattern when I made her... I made up my own!!! *yay me!!* *lol*
I wrote it down as I went along, and I'm going to share it here, just in case anybody's interested in making one like it.

Sew head to body; arms to body; and legs to body. If you want to add hair, add it any way you want. If you want to make clothes for your doll, by all means do so. But if you prefer your dolls nekkid, that’s okay too.
