mary is a fleece doll. there are things i like about mary and things i would do differently. to begin with, i love mary's face. she is so sweet and smiley that i wouldn't do it any different next time. i am not in love with mary's hair. it is stringy and makes it hard to change her clothes. i need to come up with a better hair option (plus i think her forhead is a little too short). i love her long, skinny legs. there is something quite cute about the gangly legs she has. i hate mary's dress. i liked the concept of using fleece because you can leave raw edges but it is hard to change (and dolls need to change clothes at least every 3 minutes), it is boring - blah, and it makes her shoulders look like she should be a linebacker. i need to work on a new wardrobe of patterns for mary; including britches for her naked bottom. i like her shoes but if i'm going to keep them as part of the pattern they should probably be sewn on (i'm not sure how i feel about permanent shoes....). what do you think of mary? 
Very cute face! I agree about dolls needing easier clothing changes and fancier, more flattering dresses, and also the hair - maybe yarn would work better?
