PJs for dolly! The top needs to be roomier and the bottom needs to be slimmer, other than those I think the pattern is a keeper.

A pink haired dolly for my pink obsessed girl! It’s a Stella Savannah, and she’s still waiting for a name. Any suggestion?
I’m doing a little bit of destashing over in the shop to fund my Blythe obsession. There’s a few dollies out there calling for my name.
There are a few Heather Ross, Flea Market Fancy, random stacks, and scrap packs, too!
The laptop just came back after a period of downtime since the weekend. It’s a not so good thing that turned to be great, I got plenty of time to made a couple small outfits!
Let’s get on with the descriptions, shall we? First, a short sleeved shirt made from Greenfield Hill. The pattern sample has piping all around the collar, sleeve bindings, and placket, but I already made that coat on the bottom first with plenty of piping. It’s not as neat as I want it to be so I’m staying off piping for a while. There’s also pintucks, but the pattern need to be slashed first to allow for those, of course that made it got skipped from the sewing process.
The red skirt is a plain circle skirt made fancy with some embroidery. I did it on and off during the weened so it’s not as tedious as I thought it would be. The shirt, skirt and lace trimmed petticoat are all part of a folksy outfit.
Then it’s a pair of empire dresses from Anna Maria voile and Liberty. I looooove this pattern! It’s a perfect combo of easy sew and great results. I’ve made some with regular quilting cottons before, this time I used some lighter weight cottons. Next, I want to make some out of cutesy Japanese fabrics.
For the yellow coat, I fussy cut some Innocent Crush velveteen to include only the yellow/white parts. I’m sure you know which fabric I’m using so you’ll understand that the multicolored parts are too large in scale for doll clothes. The piping and lining from complimenting solid voile. I say this is my masterpiece!
Here’s Claire and Kit modeling them!
I signed up for a Blythe Swap over on flickr and we’re required to send 3 items. It could be anything you like, dolly supplies, dolly accessories, miniatures, or clothes. This item item #1, a retro dress made from vintage sheet with a pattern from Doll Coordinate Recipe #11.
For item #2, I have a pair of shortie pjs made from some Minny Muu fabric and for item #3, I’m thinking something knitted or crocheted?
I’m obsessed with shoes. Well, I’m always that way about shoes, but right now it’s getting focused on dolly shoes!
