Baby Martha and baby Claudette are tiny cabbage patch babies (about 10 " tall). They are from Aunt Martha from when she visited the special baby hospital. Baby Martha belongs to my 5 year old Gabrielle. And baby Claudette belongs to my 2 year old Rosie. The dolls are matching except one came with pink outfits and the other came with a purple, now marked on the foot with an A for Abigail Rose "Rosie" and a G for Gabrielle. Got the sewing bug again so I started going through patterns and searching the internet for ideas. Started a skirt (will post a picture later) for Gabrielle and want to make a matching one for Rosie, a twirly tiered skirt. In the process decided to make matching outfits for the dolls (too many to name LOL) And dolls all have various sizes. Went searching through my doll patterns and fabrics to come up with ideas for the dolls clothes. Started by using extra fabric for a barbie doll skirt that matches the twirly skirt for Gabrielle. Used another scrap for baby Claudette's skirt. Then found some floral flannel and thought I would try and make a diaper for the dolls, no easy task when you see all the variations of doll diapers and sizes of dolls. Well, I found one that worked out right nice for babies Martha and Claudette. Then to come up with a matching top, so just did a basic little shirt with some lace. Turned out really cute if I do say so myself. Also working on a pink gingham sundress for baby Elizabeth (another cabbage patch from 1984 that at one time belonged to aunt Claudette or grandma not sure who exactly she belonged to, that found her way to our home and is now being cherished by 2 new little girls;Gabrielle named her Elizabeth). It is neat to see what I have made last for a long time and bring joy to my little girls. I also like sewing for dolls because I start an outfit and finish the outfit quickly thus see the results of my work.
