Amanda Walker's super-stylish doll is great fun to make and is sure to be treasured by its recipient for many years to come. We love her cheeky woollen pigtails and funky dungarees. If you have time, why not whip her up a shopping bag from scraps of fabric and cord to complete the look?
Dolly body
Using the pattern pieces: from cotton jersey, cut four arms and two pairs of each of the remaining pattern pieces for the doll. From pale blue felt, cut two shoes and two soles. From the denim fabric, cut one pair of the dungaree pieces. From the floral fabric, cut one pair of the contrast turnups, one of the facing and one pocket. Cut one T-shirt piece from white jersey.
Divide the leg pieces into two and stitch together from the top, around the feet, and back up to the top, with a 3mm seam-allowance. Clip around the feet, then turn the legs to the right side. Stuff each with the filling, being careful not to distort the leg shape. Match the back seams to the centre front seams and stitch across the tops.
Take the four arm pieces and divide into two. Stitch around the edges, clip into the thumb, turn to the right side and stuff. Close the opening at the top of the arms.
Stitch the centre front and centre back body seams together and the two darts in the base of the back body. Match then stitch the front and back shoulders and across the top of the neck.
Position the arms at the side of each shoulder on the front body and stitch in place. Repeat this process with the legs, positioning them on the outer edges of the base of the front body. Cross the two arms over one another. Match and stitch the back body side seams to the front seams.
Turn the body to the right side through the gap at the back ba
