But why re-invent the wheel, when YouTube offers lots of great videos on various sewing techniques? Today’s video not only introduces a gusset, but it shows … Continue reading Let’s sew a gusset! — guest video by Morgan Donner for today’s #FridayFollow Feature

This image shows a Hearts for Hearts (H4H or Hearts4Hearts) girl (doll) wearing a hand-made raincoat with a hood. The raincoat uses piping along the front placket, the opening for the hood, and the sleeves. The front placket offers a double-breasted looks, although it's actually sealed with Velcro. The topstitching on the front placket has pairs of tiny pink buttons running down the front of the coat. Inside the hood, we see a peek of pink cotton fabric with a London-themed print, which was used to line the coat with cotton lining. This hooded rain coat is made of Polyester, which gives it a plastic-like sheen and the doll's eyes shine brightly out from under the hood of her coat. The watermark says, "ChellyWood.com" and suggests that the website has free printable patterns and tutorials.
