Today’s blog post is short and sweet. (At least, I hope you think it’s sweet!)
I haven’t had many comments on my website lately, and frankly, I miss you guys! So I’m reaching out with a simple question: What are you working on right now?
Or maybe your summer is filled with family gatherings, and you just haven’t had time for sewing. That’s okay. Tell me what’s up in the comments if you feel like it.
Here’s what I’m working on…
I’ve cut out a whole batch of doll clothes, using my own pattern designs, and I’m just making a few extra items, using mostly vintage fabrics, just for fun.
A. This will be a summer top and matching purse in vintage avocado green with pink linings. I’m hoping it will fit Skipper or maybe Francie, because it’s sort of Mod in style.
B. This will be a yellow gingham puff-sleeved baby doll dress, and you can see that I’ve already finished the reversible diaper that goes with it.
C. This is probably my favorite pattern, so I make it all the time! It’s my Barbie party dress — the same one that appears on the dress form mannequin in a lot of my stop motion scenes for my YouTube videos. Again, that’s truly vintage fabric from my mother-in-law. (Thank you, Anita!)
D. This will be a sundress for 18 inch dolls like American Girl and Our Generation dolls. I’ve been meaning to provide this simple sundress pattern to you guys for a LONG time, so it’s time I created that tutorial. The fabric looks vintage, but it’s actually a reproduction pattern on that fabric.
And that’s what I’ve been sewing lately. Now it’s your turn! Leave a comment! Whatcha workin’ on?
