This is Giulia Punti Antichi's "Norma June" half-doll design, from Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher magazine (Spring 2016, I think?). The model is stitched on brown linen, but since I'm using a different doll, I found WDW "Sea Foam" linen, and it matches her top almost perfectly. If you look at the model picture, the portion I've stitched is in brown with green leaves...well, that didn't work for me, either. So I'm using Valdani "Blackened Teal" and Dinky Dyes "Merlot" to make a rosebud-looking border instead of the more rustic feel. And the more I look at the doll, the sassier she gets! And I don't think the model's chatelaine of sewing accessories will be appropriate for her. I'm thinking a teeny copy of "Treasure Island," a map in a bottle, and a compass, maybe? (I have those things, found on clearance at Hobby Lobby years ago in their line of Fairy Tale charms.)

The fabric is ideal and your planned accessories fit with the 'Sea foam' colours.
The fabric is perfect for Miss "Sassy".
