because it was closest to the Mary Maxim doll and had the best chance for adapting the patterns I was already using. The doll is an upgrade and I've been pleased with the process of switching over. It will be easier next year as both dolls should be the same therefore eliminating size issues in fitting clothing.
I experimented with an old Annie's Attic pattern and have the first outfit for the 2018 donation finished for this doll. I hope to get started on the 2nd one shortly.
