More and more doll clothes







Just a quick post to post a pix of the latest of the doll clothes I have made :D Only posting one picture at the moment (don't wanna wake the girls sneaking into their room to get the baby to take a picture of the pink bear sweatshirt :D)

Edited: Added a couple of pictures...both pictures of the diaper are of the same diaper showing each side as it is a reversible diaper to go with the dress above. The outfit is a picture of the pink teddybear sweatshirt with pants. Did another diaper shirt for the floral flannel diaper but it is too big for baby Martha/Claudette so I need to make one just a tiny bit smaller. It actually fits but I want it to fit better. It fits another cabbage patch of no name yet (one of the twin ones, well it fits both of them so the diaper/diaper shirt in pink floral flannel actually fits 4 dolls YAY!) Also working on a dress for barbie. Also need to post a picture of a dress in pink gingham that fits American girl and Baby Elizabeth (another older cabbage patch)...but that will be a new post.

I still haven't figured out how to do post this well. Well enjoy the projects as I learn to sew doll clothes and barbie clothes and clothes for my girls (and family)Pin It Now!

Some skirts for the girls




Hello,

Here are some of the newer projects. Did the Barbie skirt today to match the top that will go with the orange skirt. The floral blouse will be like the white one above. I will have to get pictures of my girls wearing their new skirts and the blouses that go with them. My son is bugging me to make him something too. Now to sew for boys (at least for me) is not as easy. Need to get some patterns for him. Probably start with a dress shirt. Enjoy.

Little shirt and matching diaper for baby Martha and baby Claudette
























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.
