doll clothes!

I love sewing small things. By hand.

For hours on end. 

I love taking patterns and scanning

and reducing them. My latest was

a Simplicity pattern of a felt

elephant, poodle, and bear.

Made them 40% of regular size

and sewed my little heart out.

Unfortunately, no pics this time.

What I do have pics of are the sweet

little doll clothes I have made for

grand~daughter, Olivia. The doll

we got her for Xmas is a Daisy Kingdom

doll that only comes clad in a cute little

one piece under garment and shoes

and socks.  I HAD to dress her!

So. I. Got. Busy.

First up, a little pants outfit with

matching apron and itty

bitty shoes. 

 And as I was making those shoes,

I learned that I do afterall, have

patience. And Bob too, likes

itty bitty doll shoes.

Next up, a skirt, blouse and

vest, which is reversable, and

of course, the itty bitty shoes.

For a little flair I added some

tulle between ruffle layers on

skirt. And of course for the much

loved sparkle all little girls seem 

to love, some pretty little beads on

the shirt and vest. Too bad they don't

show up on the pics.  And I

really must add, I love love love

this matching fabric. I have had

it hoarded away for a few years now,

waiting for just the right thing to make

with it. I think this is it!

I have a feeling this princess one

will be the most worn. Princesses

and castles and a cute little bonnet.

Yea, I love bonnets. Something so 

sweet about them. 

There are a few others, alas no pics.

A cute little polka dot dress, and a

little lounge outfit that is brown with

pink polka dots. Yea, I like polka

dots too. 


NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH

I just found out that my daughter is expecting

her second SON!  Oh I just love me some

little boys.  

I just finished up felt valentine bags

for the kids. Just small ones, about 

4" x 4".  When I asked Bob to pick

up some small goodies to fill them up

with, he came home with a FULL

grocery bag of goodies!  I think I 

should have made the bags a little

bit bigger!  He is such a good Poppa.

Just wanted to make sure they had a

yummy selection!  (I'm sure we won't

have any trouble finishing up the

leftovers.). After we finish up

the Christmas candy leftovers in

the freezer! ha!

I am still completely addicted to 

Pinterest! I have found sooo many

fun items in there! Great tutorials!

Great deals on Etsy.  Food to

drool over.  Pretty little dresses.

FANTASTIC sewing rooms.

And I know I am not alone. There

is SO much to look at on there!

Thanks to whoever created Pinterest!

I think I love you!
