The Quiet Book - The Dress Up Page

I spent almost ALL DAY yesterday trying and trying and trying to sew the cover for my quiet book. I thought that would be a great first place to start, right?
WRONG!
I ended up with TWO covers I can't use and not enough of my cover fabric leftover to make a third attempt! This was sad and frustrating. I had a lot of trouble with the bias tape (ha! that's a sewing term I just learned!)
I think the tape I picked was a bit too thin, and I kept missing the other side no matter how carefully I pressed and pinned it. *sigh*
I did find two interesting videos on You Tube on how to sew it and how the HECK to get the corners right although I don't think I can do both the techniques at the same time so I am still stuck on the tame and am unsure of how to get the edges right without buying double the fabric and sewing them like a pillowcase.
*double sigh*

BUT THEN..... I decided to try my VeRy FiRsT PaGe!!!
and LOOK:

A few little snags, but not too shabby!!!

Clothes to go into the 'bureau' 

I am unsure how to cut out the hair - i'd like to make it so the figure can either be a girl or a boy depending on hair and clothes. Any suggestions or patterns?

I am THRILLED that the page was so much easier to work on than the cover!!!
Maybe i'll just leave the cover until last! :)

The template for the person and the clothes came from here:
