Cut a slice off of the Styrofoam ball to give it a flat surface. place the doll fabric over the ball gathering it smoothly to the flat part of the ball. Glue in place. Trim any excess fabric. You may need to hollow the center of the flat side of the ball to accommodate the excess fabric Place the ring over the lid and glue the flat side of the ball to the lid. Allow it to dry completely.

Cut a circle of the felt. Using heavy or doubled thread run a gathering stitch around approximately 1/8" from the edge. Gather leaving a one inch opening in the center and tie off the thread but do not cut yet. Stuff the felt circle very firm. Ladder stitch this "bun" to the top or back of the covered Styrofoam ball. You may use some glue for adder stability. This will form the hair bun on your "Nanny" and can be used as a pincushion.

Draw a hair line on your covered Styrofoam ball and using single strands of yarn add hair from the hairline to the "bun". Yarn can be glued or stitched on as you choose.

Stitch a rectangle of fabric into a tube that will fit over the jar. Hem the bottom of the tube then run a gathering stitch around the top edge fitting it over the lid and ring and gather it snuggly around the neck of your "Nanny". Tie off and glue in place.

With a matching piece of fabric make a narrow tube long enough to reach from the neck to the mid point of the jar height. Tie a single knot in the center of the tube and stuff lightly on both sides of the knot. stitch or glue the ends of the tube at the neck of the "Nanny" one end on each side. This will form her arms with the knot as her hands.

Gather a piece of lace edging to form a collar and cover the mechanics at the neck area. Add a pocket to the front of the dress to hold a thimble.

You can add a bow on the collar or embellish with buttons as you like.
