Recent projects

My Friend doll clothes came with patterns in the back of doll clothes box - meant for young ones to make with their parents. On a recent trip to my parents back east, I uncovered a whole stash of My Friend clothing patterns - both the type that came with the clothes purchase and the seasonal set that came out later. When I flew back home - I needed to make a dress for my Mandy like which I would have liked to have for her when I was a little girl.

I broke into the Summer patterns and made the following dress from embroidered raw silk.


My mother loves dolls, and doll clothes, most especially. For her birthday (Oct 20th) , I sewed up a cream eyelet dress with a pink satin sash and teal velvet cape. All of the fabric was left over from other projects - except the teal velvet which I bought at G Street fabrics back in the 90's and never knew what to do with.
