I've been wanting to make some clothes for these dolls ever since I made them. Finally I did! Now that I have a pattern I'm sure ill adapt it to make them pants and long sleeved shirts ready for cool weather too. They are a little bit fiddly with all the miniature pattern pieces, but fun to make.
I used
this pattern except without adding cuffs. I bought the pattern and then realized I didn't have any stretch fabric but luckily it ended up working fine regular cotton. I used some sheet and pillow case off cuts that I had left over from other projects.
I also didn't have the right elastic on hand but my dolls ended up being chubby enough that the shorts stay on anyway!
Once they had their new outfits I gave them a little TLC, they badly needed face wipes and their hair to be de-fluffed and re styled. I wasn't sure if the boys tomato pizza kisses were fixable but with a good soaking they look almost as good as new.
here's a picture Benny took of me and Mishka knitting. He puts up with a lot in exchange for a warm lap
Some veggies from my garden. I've been munching on fresh carrots for breakfast (and cancelling out the ridiculous healthiness of that with honey crackles for breakfast desert:)
Those are adorable!!
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteHaha breakfast desert, cute! Did you make the dolls? You are just too clever sometimes.
ReplyDeleteyep, good ol breakfast desert, a good excuse for eating junk straight after breakfast now and then if I do say so myself :) Yes I made the dolls a few years back
DeleteHow lovely that you are going to make long sleeved shirts and pants for you dolls to wear in the cold weather! They are lovely and cuddly looking, and all traces of pizza kisses seem to have washed out.
