It’s been a while… I’ve been busy, with other things.
I got a new sewing room for Christmas- pictures to come. Plus, the new darling curtains I’m making for the window!
My birthday is on Christmas day, so I got some new fabric to go along with my Christmas present! Christopher, who has been helping me make the curtains, keeps asking me when I’m going to use the strawberry fabric. I asked him what I could make with it- he said, “My baby needs some clothes!”
So- here goes…
Start with: One very ugly, very dirty baby doll:
And, some very cute strawberry fabric:
Lay the baby out, and measure the body:
I cut the pattern out, sewed it together very crudely and came up with this:
It’s ok, you can laugh! I did! Really hard!
Don’t worry, I still had enough fabric to try again, for Caleb’s baby doll:
This time, I remembered to put the two ride sides of the fabric together as I cut the pattern, and I made the back piece wider than the front…
No worries, though, it turned out just as bad, if not worse!
Oh well, my boys didn’t care. See?
That’s his smiley face, I promise!!!!
Totally worth the ten minutes they took! I won’t be advertising them publicly, but if you’re interested in a crudely made, not-hemmed, way-too-tight night gown for your baby dolls… I’m your gal!
It will make for a happy child or two!
Until next time…
It's great to practice on something like that that doesn't really matter as long as it's covered and with fabric you already have. Kids are easily pleased. The fabric is cute. I want to see pictures of your room!!!
