Dolls!

What girl doesn't love dolls? I know I do! I don't think I will ever grow out of dolls. For Christmas I thought I would hand make some dolls for my nieces (we had their names for Christmas) They were so fun to make! I like how I could see them come "alive" I had a pattern for the bodies but made up the rest. I put hair on the doll for the older niece and no hair on the doll for the baby niece. Kimball wants me to make him super hero one. I think it would be a blast to turn one of these dolls into batman and spider man. Hmmm, I will have to see....

Another thing I have been working on is making doll clothes for Phoebe's American Girl Doll. I really don't know who is enjoying the doll more, me or her? I am addicted to making these outfits. I have a bunch of patterns and I love to create new outfits. Phoebe is really into the colonial dresses, so I just finished the first period dress. I had to stop sewing while I was waiting for my glasses, the first day I got them, Phoebe asked if I was going to start sewing again. I guess I am pretty popular! Or at least loved!! So here is what I have been working on.

Colonial dress with bonnet, shawl, and apron (this one is my favorite at the moment)Dorothy (in honor of her being Dorothy for Halloween. The ruby red slippers are on back order)
A pair of pajamas(Phoebe has a dress made of the same polka dots and the pocket really works!)

Sunday outfit ( I made this one after seeing one of my young women at church wearing something similar to this. You can't really see the purple flowers that are embroidered on the bottom of the skirt. The shirt really is a wrap shirt.)
