Sewing
If you don't have a sewing machine (better yet, sewing cotton with sewing machines is hell), handsew with small stitches (backstitch style), to have a almost perfect sawing, put your pieces together and fix them with pins, then mark the fabric with an outline so that you have a guide to follow, start to saw Sew the body, starting by the shoulders, then attach the arms, saw the rest of the body and leave the neck open.Turn inside out
Stuff it with fiberfill, this might get a bit tricky, but try to stuff it with a wooden stick or whatever you have in hand fill the legs first and the fill the arms, leave a space without fiberfill between the arms and the body, it will give movement to the arms.
Fill the head lightly and Fill the neck firmly, stitch the head and body openings.
THE HAIR
Some vids how to make the wig....sorry for the bad english :(
DRAWING THE FACE
Probably you are wondering how to print the correct size for the face graphic, what you need to do (I use photoshop) is choose the print preview and rezise the image about a forth of the size of an A4 sheet a bit larger maybe, print a draft and be sure the size of the stencil matches the size of the doll head, if it needs any correction resize again until you are satisfyed with the size.

Hey Meg! that is so cool!, would you send me pics please? XD
i dont have my doll right now cuz my teacher dispayed it for the exibit and i wont be getting it anytime soon. the sad part is that some small children were playing with my doll during the exibit and they destroyed it partially *(sobs)*. now my doll has several bald spots cuz they keep pulling out the yarn, sum buttons are missing and they pulled out some threads. its very sad becuz i had so many sleepless nights just so i cud finish making my doll and to c it get destroyed hurts.

Awwww...Meg, I am so sorry to hear what happened to your doll!, damn kids! Just the other day, my friends little brother was playing with my Billie doll...he is only 1 year old, he wasn't hurting the doll, but I felt like he was going to tear the thing apart hehe, luckily my friend is also a hardcore fan of the doll and she took the doll away from him, even though he was kinda sad, at the end we gave him a semi destroyed doll of Frank Iero to play with hehe.
i got my doll back! my doll looks terrible!!! majority of the hair is gone!! my doll looks like it has cancer and in its last stage! i cud go all day just naming the flaws....i think im gonna make a new one but this time for myself and i'll take good care of it......
-xxmegxx

I am very excited about making my very own Billie! Could you please send me the faces for all three Green day dolls - daniglenn5@bigpond.com . Thanks again...
