A few months ago I sewed up these cute 18" doll dresses. However I didn't finish up the outfits with the acccessories or velcro closures so that is how I spent my day yesterday. I have 18 outfits ready to sell now at the spring shows. It always feels so good to get some supply in those boxes! Don't they just wannta make you be a little girl again and play dress up, LOL
See the linky parties on the left side bar that I try to join each week. It is so fun to see what others are making and this is a good way to do it!
I see my baby quilt from last week is featured here today-thanks Connie!!
Adding onto this post of a WIP project I worked on yesterday with a friend. My quilt is on the left, her's on the right. We had fun doing this improv log cabin from Jacquie Gering's book Quilting Modern. All the brights are from my strip bag and it was overflowing so I thought she should help me use some. I had previously asked her if she felt brave enough to do a mystery baby quilt with me, all she had to bring was 1.5 yards of white fabric and I'd provide the rest. She was all in right away! They came out 36" sq. I'll be donating mine to the neonatal unit after I get it quilted. The technique was fun and freeing and I know I will use it again.
Such cute dresses! Oh I LOVE that purple outfit! The little purse too! So so darling!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! My grand daughters have these dolls (2 each!) and it is hard to find clothes for them that I can afford. I should copy you and make some...but I am no longer much good at the little stuff...dresses for them is the smallest I can do these days! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYour doll dresses are so cute! I am sure they will be very popular. Congrats on the finish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super fun idea to get together with a quilty friend - they are both soo cute! The doll dresses are darling - I have a new little extended family member, will hopefully get to make some of these fun projects when she gets a bit older (3 month old!)
ReplyDeleteLove the log cabins. Great idea to do the challenge and then donate the quilt. What fun!
ReplyDeleteYour little quilts came out great. How satisfying to put scraps to good use.
ReplyDeleteLove the little details you added to those adorable doll outfits. And the answer is YES! How fun that you got to have a friend over for a sewing "play day". Both quilts are sweet and it sounds like you both had a wonderful time.... Well spent!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to spend a day with a quilting friend! The tops look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the dolls. I do wish I was a kid again. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, these are such fun little outfits! :) I am glad you got to spend some time quilting with a friend! :)
