First Outfit

-
Here is the first outfit I made for the Emma doll. It is a little messy since I didn't have a pattern to go off of, and little time to complete it, but it is a start!

My daughter picked out the fabric. I made her an outfit, and had it sitting by me sewing machine to fix, and when she saw it, she wanted Emma to have a similar outfit. So I pulled out some scraps and got to work.

Here is my little one's outfit. 


I made the doll a pair of pants, a tank top, a vest, and a matching headband. If you look they also have the same purple crocs shoes on. :)

The tank has ribbon straps that velcro in the back.
If anyone is interested I will make a tutorial on how to make this. I promise I will dedicate more time on the outfit so it doesn't look as messy in some areas. :)

One outfit down, may to go!

    I'd love to see a pattern for this! I've tried to do these on my own, but the pants don't fit.

    As a grandmother sewing clothing for my granddaughter's American Girl doll, the problem I am having is with sizing. You see they live in another part of the country and the new doll seems to be a bit larger than some of the patterns and the doll dress form I purchased.

    For this reason it is helpful to have patterns one can adjust to the size of the doll. I LOVE the idea of putting velcro on the straps of the top. What a great idea!! And yes, please do up a pattern, especially for the top, as I have seen nothing like this elsewhere on the net.

    And thank you for your wonderful site!

DIY Hooded Towels

I just love the baby hooded towels, but my little one has grown out of them. I have been using regular towels on her, and I miss the hood. I came across this tutorial on how to make large sized hooded towels, but can't seem to find the tutorial anymore. I tried to recall as best I could, and tried to make a couple, here is what I came up with... This hooded towel is so easy to make and I LOVE how big they are! You can make any color you want, and add any color ribbon or fabric strips to the hood! Here is how I made this: First you will need a regular sized towel and a hand towel. You can also get matching ribbon or scrap fabric strips to add to the hood if you would like. I bough my two towels at Wal-Mart on sale for a little over $5. Take your hand towel, and cut it around 24 inches long. Fold your hand towel in half lengthwise, and cut your ribbon to the same size as the towel. Pin your ribbon to the towel, about 1 inch from the fold.  Now o

Maxi Skirt Tutorial

Here is a maxi skirt I made and wore for Thanksgiving. It is so easy and inexpensive to make!  Material: Fabric: You will need to pick out the fabric material and color you want. I used a stretch knit from Joann's Fabric. (Don't forget to use your coupons when buying your fabric!) Elastic band First, you will need to measure how much fabric you will need. I measured from where I wanted the skirt to start, down to the floor, for the length. For my skirt, I got 45'' in length (keep in mind the type if shoes you will be wearing with your skirt. For flats, it will need to be shorter, for heels, measure longer.) The great thing about this material is that I did not need to finish any edges! It will not fray and looks fine unfinished. Woo hoo! :) Next, you will need to measure your waist for the elastic length. Keep in mind that your length will need to be about an inch shorter than your waist measurement. The elastic will stretch and fit your waist snug. If

Graduation Cupcake Stand

Here is a graduation cupcake stand I was asked to make for a party this Saturday. The school colors are hunter green and gold. I bought the fabric and trims from Joann's fabric. The top is a graduation cap with a tassel I made. I took a 10inch cake board, and cut it into a 7'' square, then wrapped it in back. I added a button that I wrapped in the same black fabric and a tassel I made out of embroidery thread. The great thing about the top, is that you can put cupcakes on it as well as the other layers! Find the cupcake stand tutorial HERE ! Check out the new post !  Nook update!
