Amelia and friend

A friend asked me to make a doll and lent me Amelia (the redhead) as a pattern.  The doll is un-named, I am allowing her new owner to name her.  She is wearing lace edged bloomers a flounced dress and a simplified apron.   I had to draw a pattern from the doll, a very tricky step, then find suitable fabrics for her.  Meanwhile Amelia's owners niece was asking for her.  Where is she? Why is she so long away?
