As the directions state you will sew the front head pieces together and then also your back head pieces together (right sides facing each other). Then you will sew front to back matching the top of the head seams. I would run some fray check along the edges once its sewn and then let it set up/dry. Once it is set/dry you can stuff it pretty full with batting. Make sure that you run some fray check along the end of the neck because you will be putting a bit of pressure on this area as you stuff. I've had a few heads that I've stuffed experience runs in the material as I stuffed them so I'll save you some time and frustration.
As we are waiting for the fray check to dry, you might want to start thinking about the material that you want to use for your doll's outfit. I love to look in the discount section of any fabric store that I go to. You can usually find several great varieties of fabric, colors, prints, solids and more for great discounted prices. Let your imagination run wild! I know my mind does.
Well off to the sewing room, Sophia seems to be in sleepy mode at the moment. She's bathing herself and looking heavy lidded..great for sewing :) A few pics of Ms. Sophia
Be back in a few, Dulce
