It Doesn't Fit Grandma

Poor Grandma still has nothing to wear. The new outfit didn't fit her, but it does fit Sandy!

Remind me to change the thread when I go back to sewing seams. I'm not liking how the purple thread shows on the shorts.

Grandma shows some signs of kyphosis in her back. That makes fitting her rather difficult. Her head, neck and shoulders are all one piece of porcelain. Grandma insisted she would NOT have surgery to correct this!

I have promised her that she will get her new white dress.

Tomorrow.

I promise.

Sandy's New Outfit

Sandy needed a new outfit for the beach so this is what I made for her. :D

I made up the pattern as I went along. The skirt is a bit too small (!) so I'll have to make another one. I used elastic in the waist and lined it with soft cotton fabric. The shorts and halter top are sewn together in one piece.

I think I have found yet another thing I like about minis! Doll clothes are fun to make! I felt myself smiling as I was making this. :D

I have lots of ideas for clothes for my other dolls too. I'd like to make some t-shirts, shorts and a jogging outfit. I got some kids clothes at the thrift store that I'll cut up and use for the fabric.

Glad it's a three day weekend here! I've got more sewing to do!
