We’re coming to the end of this Independence Day contest to win the handmade doll dress you see in the image above. I’m giving this dress, the shoes, and the headscarf away on the OOAK Secrets Facebook page. (See link for contest entry and details about the contest.)

I plan to eventually post the patterns and tutorial to make this colorblock dress, so even if you don’t win the contest, the patterns will be posted her, probably this fall.

Special thanks to Angela of OOAK Secrets for hosting this contest. You can order her OOAK books here, if you’re interested in learning how to re-paint your dolls’ faces or if you want to learn from doll diorama experts.

Angela and I are thinking about running another contest like this one for Halloween, so please watch for that.
