The Mechanic
Here's the Ship's Mechanic, close up so you can see her face. Her mouth is embroidered by hand, and her eyes are buttons. I left her hair a little loose, so it would look more like the original model. I also added a little darker brown shading at the part and around the top of her head to resemble the way real hair is colored.
Here's The Mechanic in her favorite outfit. The jacket is Chinese silk, with a pattern of lotus flowers? I think that's what they are. They are embroidered into the fabric and are a silvery white thread. The top under her coveralls is a stretchy fabric I found in the remanant bin. So once it runs out...(more shopping!) Her hair was a challenge, but I finally managed to get the buns right with a combination of glue and perserverance. Her sandals I made with purchased trim and craft foam, with fabric paint on the soles for tread.
These are her feet, which I usually don't do in such detail, being that the dolls feet are usually inside their boots.
A standing up shot.
