Easter Dress for 18" Doll

Samantha is modeling a beautiful vintage style Easter dress. Now for sale on Etsy Click here. It is a new design and the dress features a removable bow, lace cuffed sleeves and lined bodice. The lace and the buttons are actually vintage. I cut the dress slightly shorter so her bloomers peek out just a bit to give it that vintage look. As usual the dress is machine washable on gentle and is made to last.

18" doll Dress for Valentine's Day

I got a book on drafting patterns for kids clothes for Christmas and I wanted to make Savannah a Valentine's dress. I had this fabric leftover from a skirt I made her last year. I made her doll a matching dress and I even had enough fabric leftover to make one more doll dress. The doll dress is for sale in my Easy shop Here.
And big surprise here, she is asking for a Wellie Wisher for her birthday this year. Just when I figure out how to make clothes for the 18" doll.




Bible Cover

After a not so great experience with finding a Bible cover for my dad for Christmas my mom asked me to make one.  I found a couple styles that I liked, measured the bible and made my own. This mustache one was the practice cover. I can't tell you how much I struggled with the zipper end facings especially since it is fully lined. This cover is for sale on my Etsy shop and on eBay. It is for an 11 1/2" X 8" X 2" Bible or specifically the MacArthur Study Bible Large Print.









This is the second cover (the one I made for my dad) my mom supplied the fabric. I had a much easier time with the zipper end facings this time and it went so much quicker.
