I don't know if you're still doing your blog or not, but I wanted to let you know there is a MUCH easier way to reroot hair without all the sewing stuff! I would go crazy if I had to do it that way, and to be honest, I'd have never done another doll! Okay, so what you need is a needle with a large eye, like an embroidery needle. Find a stick, fairly straight without too many bumpy things (Yup, that's a technical term! lol). Drive the needle into the end of the stick (helps if it's a flat edge you're driving into) take some dykes and cut half the eye of the needle. Apply some E6000 around the base and your set. You can do nice chunks of hair this way without all the craziness of sewing. You simply put some hair in the "eye" and poke into the doll's head. Because vinal stretches, it will stretch around your tool allowing you to put the hair in, then when you pull out the tool, the dolls head actually locks the hair in place. I hope I've been helpful if you ever do it again. :) oh hun!

Did you ever finish it? I would love to see pictures. I hope your healing well, physically and emotionally. My thoughts are with you.
