Vera, from the pattern Cecily the Steampunk Dragonfly

The doll is finished, no cap, no wings.  A face, hair and some great boots.

Cecily, the Dragonfly almost finished, pattern by Nancy Hall

Faces are a challenge for me, but at last I did that part, now she needs hair, her dress and cap and of course her arms and legs have to be sewn on.
