Doll making, continued (today, the head)

Yesterday I finished restuffing the arms, and then I sewed down the skin to the head:

So this is the back of the head, with the skin whipstitched to the head. Also, I pulled the fabric tight and stitched it in place so that the doll wouldn't have any wrinkles. I think I also wrapped string around to make the neck at this point:

And this is the bottom view (it's not pretty):

So yesterday I stitched the arms to the neck/shoulders, only to discover that the arms were not even and the left arm was now shorter than the right arm. I could not let it go. So I undid all of my stitches, evened out the arms, and started stitching.

But by then, there was a groove in my index finger nail and my fingers were very sore and tired. So if I have time today, maybe I'll get the arms and head connected. Otherwise, it'll bleed into the work week. After all, this doll has a deadline if I'm going to use it as my class project.
