Doll Project Progressing Slowly

I capitalized every word in my title today because I thought it sounded rather more like a newspaper headline.

This is a long-term project. This doll is complete, but I'm adding slowly to her wardrobe. She has one garment now, a teal shetland pullover. The patterns in the book aren't working well for me, so I'm improvising. When I began this project I thought the fun part would be making their clothes. This girl is so skinny she's too weak to sit up well.
