Print out the pattern :
There are four pieces. Body, head, face and hair.
Turn doll through opening in the seam. Stuff firmly.
Close opening with an overcast stitch. I find this stronger than a ladder stitch.
You can finish here or...
Optional....
Stitch across the bottom corners of the doll to create and flat base.
Embellish the join between the head and the body with Daisy Chain or other trimmings.

Off cut of woven fabrics. Nothing that will fray too easily.

Trace pattern for face and hair onto paper side of webbing. Cut out leaving a small border of webbing. Iron onto fabric. Cut head and hair out on the line.

2 of head from woven fabric
Peel paper from face and hair and place onto one of the head pieces. Press to adhere.
Stitch close to the edge of face and hair with matching thread.
Draw with a pencil the facial features.
Embroider the face. Use back stitching for eyes, eyebrows and lips. Work two little stitches over each other for nose. Pupils and cheeks are french knots. and the lips are satin stitch.
Sewing:
seam allowance of 6mm included.
Sew each head piece to a body piece.
Place pieces right side together and sew around leaving an opening for turning and stuffing.
Clip seam allowance close to stitching, being careful not to snip through the stitching. I used my pinking shears.
Make sure you clip well into the curve of the neck.
