I've Been Sewing for Dolls

Last year, I made my granddaughter, Ms. C. this
little pillowcase dress.

She just came home from Disney World &

told me she wore it several times while there

along with her Ariel costume that I made her for Halloween.

I made a matching dress for her 18" dolls to share.

She has an American Girl doll but the doll above is

kept here at my house for her to play with & so I

can get accurate measurements.

It is from Target...only $20 & is the exact same

size as the AG dolls.

This weekend, when Ms. C. visited,

we discovered that the dress works as a top for this MUCH taller doll.

I made the black & white polka-dot wrap around skirt for her to wear with it.

Its GREEN with Shamrocks on the opposite side, for St. Patrick's Day.

You can find the FREE pattern for the reversible wrap skirt

Last week, Jan M., author of the Blog & Online store both called

"BessieMary"

showed us these DARLING little slippers for 18" dolls.

Aren't they just the cutest little things???!!!

I literally RAN out to JoAnns Fabric (Michael's has them, too)

the very next day to buy some &

I'm hoping to find a similar pair for Ms. C.

I want to make a new set of matching nightgowns

since she has outgrown the one that matched this doll's version.

My fingers are itching to get back to smocking some things &

adding lacy heirloom touches.

If you need any heirloom supplies, go visit Jan's store.

She has a wonderful selection & is extremely helpful.

I like to have some handwork near my chair at night

while watching TV with Hubby.

I miss my weekly "Smock & Talk" sewing group!

We take the summers off,

due to their children being home from school.

It nice to have help their when I pleat something for smocking.

Thanks for visiting The Gazebo House.

fondly,

Rett
