I got jealous of the granddaughters with their nice dolls so I bought one for myself too.
I can make pretty clothes and dress her up just like when I was a little girl.

Right now I got her in a sporty outfit, ready to go to the London Olympics
This is a Jolina Ballerina doll, about 35cm (14") and I adapted patterns for Barbie doll clothes found at a Swedish website (no longer in service).

I also used a pattern book for Marie Claire doll
I just need to come up with some shoes for her because she can't be barefoot all the time!
update:
made my own shoe pattern, download it here
