What seemed simple . . .

This is a heriloom doll (made by my client's grandmother) what was mistaken for a toy by their dog. Part of her face and scalp were totally gone. I thought I put some muslin in as a new base and go from there but the original fabric was so old and fragile, it was almost like I was weakening when I pierced it with a needle.
So, I had to use the fabric that was there and sew it back together. Then I mushed her head around to try to re-shape it. Then I put the  hair back in a way that hopefully hid the repairs.
