    I tried to do the sleeves according to the pattern, but they don't make sense. Any advice on how to do them?

  4. Just finished making this for a Secret Santa exchange. It came out looking cute, though I did have a slight issue with the button area... the collar somehow covers the top button? I couldn't tack it down so I left it loose. It seems ok. Thanks much for sharing this, and I'mm definitely make this again for one of my own dolls lol!
