Make it:
1. Trace a long-sleeved one-piece onto a large sheet of paper to create a template to cut the body fabric. Add about 1/2" extra space all the way around for seam allowance; cut out template. Cut front and back out of orange ribbed fabric, and sew together. Attach snap strip on the inside of each leg.
2. Cut striped fabric to match the overalls on the doll. Sew to orange one-piece.

Cut 2 thin strips of orange fabric to create the tie under the chin. Stitch strips to bottom corners of hat to match original pilot's cap.
