Description I grew up with Sci-Fi and Fantasy shows in my home, but Doctor Who was one of the few I never got to watch and I am now rectifying this problem. Only watched the reboot so far and I love it!

Here we see the Tenth Doctor made into a cute Doctor Doll. ^_^ His hair was a bit of a pain to style (and I wish I could make it better than it is) but that is par for the course with complex hairstyles. I did give him cute little sideburns though! To make his suit and jacket combo work, I attached felt under added dk. brown suit lapels and then used basic satin stitch techniques to give it those lovely blue pinstripes. His sonic screwdriver was made by hand to complete the look cause really, with as much as he uses it, even chibi-10 needs one.

Materials: Yarn, thread, Buttons, Felt, Sculpy, Paint, Wax
Time: 5-7 hours

When asked, the 10th Doctor had this to say about his doll: "Oh brilliant! A miniature me! Did you see Rose? Ha, I'm so gorgeous in this body that even in doll form I look good."

See the 10th Doctor in his other main outfit here: Ten w/Blue Suit; aka TenII

Oh, exellent! How do you make it? Is it hard?

Thanks
Well, in reverse order, yes it is a bit tricky to make but mostly because I have to design or modify my pattern for almost every new doll I make. Then have the strength to press on when I have to undo a piece and remake it since it didn't work out. I sewed the pin stripes on 3 times before they looked good, and that's an easy fix.

As for how I made it? Well...that's hard to give a simple answer to. The basic of it is after I have a set design ready; I make a body and head, stuff/fill, sew it together, crochet the clothing/accessory pieces, and then sew each one on. The hair and eyes are done last as hair gets in the way and also has to be styled. And that's the process in a nut shell.

Yay, someone like how the hair looks! Styling yarn hair drives me crazy and is making me consider a beautician license. >.< The pinstripes were a bit of work, but worth it. ^_^

Thank you ^_^ I'm really happy with how he turned out too. I plan on selling a large variety of dolls at my next convention in May (Balticon), including this exact one. If he doesn't sell you should see it on my esty.
