I made a little jacket for one of my daughter's dolls yesterday

Made it out of little girl corduroy pants - used the hem of the pants for the sleeve cuffs. I also lined it with gold silk (I happened to have some scraps on hand), honestly because it was easier than trying to put a 1/4 hem on the neckline and bottom edge! (why do these patterns give such tiny hems!!)

Also, this doll has the most un-barbie like feet I've ever seen, I wonder if any of you know anything about her? Her face looks barbie-like, but she's much thinner than Barbie (at least my old ones from the 90s) and her feet are rather wide and flat. Anyone seen a doll like her before? (I got her from a thrift store)

Loona your sweater looks great!

MintyMints your lollipop wrapper top was a clever idea and looks cute with the tutu skirt

Katygirl nice job on the jacket! No info to offer on the doll ID sorry

Well i've got one layer of ruffle on my top done and then I got distracted with crocheting sexy monokinis for my MH gorgan doll

[Salli]

Verte, CUUUUTE! I love it!

Minty, that is so festive and lovely Thanks for sharing!

Katgyrl, that jacket is so sweet Great job! (I love the lining too! ) Does your doll have a trademark stamped on her back? That might help with an ID.

[NinaMarie]

Finished my top. Decided to do only two layers of ruffles as I'm afraid 3 would overwhelm her.

And here is the "monokini" that distracted me from finishing Skellita's top.

Used a teeny little snap for the closure instead of hook like on the ruffled skirt and top

[Katgyrl]

Both those outfits are very cool! You have seriously mad skills, Nina!

[jennovazombie]

Wow, those are incredible!

I think I might start my top today. I've just not been in much of a sewing mood at all lately, and I think making something quick and pretty would definitely help with that funk.

[Alicat]

Katygirl, nice jacket!! I like the scale of the cord!
I am sorry to say your gal has man-feet babeh! ( in the voice of Austin Powers!!)   

Nina, those are both fantastic! I saw your Gorgon on another thread, and she looks great in red!

I think that's a beach barbie. I don't know much at all about Barbies but my little cousin has two with flat feet, she said they were beach barbies that came barefoot.

[bewilderness]

Nina, I love your work!  I couldn't crochet to save my life.  Looks so awesome.

Katgyrl, I think I found your girl.    The mystery doll got my curiosity piqued and I've spent the last four hours hunting the interwebs for her--refused to give up until she was found!!! 

*edit* I hope it's okay to post the ebay link since the auction is over

Finished her shirt! I also made a corset thing, but I have to make the top for it too.

[Katgyrl]

cute skirt jennova!

Oh my gosh, that is her! She had those pants on when I found her and the necklace is still attached. Wow, thanks for finding her for me, bewilderness! That is so awesome of you!

[Salli]

Everyone who made tops gets their merit badge And NinaMarie gets 2 for crocheting a doll-sized monokini!! That's insanely amazing!!! And you make me so impatient to get my hands on the new CAMS

Sorry for the radio silence, I have been doing zero sewing. Sick, hurt, cold, dealing with my oldest son's medical testing, running my pony swap... whine, whine, whine... okay, done.

I am going to clean my office today and get my sewing machine all ready to roll. I have some small quilts I have to make too. I really need to make some MH boy pants so I can give one to a friend who traded me Ghoulia's boots and some spare MH heads and to sell on Etsy. BUT I know pants are hard.

Question: do you guys want to do something easy next? or we can move into making pants or dresses. Some easy projects I was thinking of were belts, scarves, hats, or some sort of jewelry. Let me know your opinion so I can post tomorrow

[Loona]

oh Salli, I hope things get sorted out for you soon!

I was so busy recently I never had the time to check in here, but I never got a notification in the last week either, so I thought others were busy as well. the too long silence was kind of suspicious though, and now as I peeked in I realised I was right! don't know where those notifications went, they weren't in spam either :/ I'll need to catch up with the last posts...

today I finally had some time for sewing - however, I still keep procrastinating regarding Tristen's dress and that top I started earlier one Monday. today I woke up with the thought that I will make my girls some thighs. first I was about to make two (I have several old thighs I preserved for further use after they got holes on them or became unusable in some other way), a silvery black and a purple-black striped one, but I kept on finding suitable colours and now I have six pre-stitched thighs waiting to be finished with the machine, and there's a 7th one planned :O I didn't finish either of them yet, I was lazy switching the black thread in my machine to colours that'll fit, but I'm planning to finish all of them tomorrow. my girls won't have any other clothes but thighs, lol

as for the next challenge, I'd love to do an easier one, because in the meanwhile I could hopefully catch up with some other clothes I planned to make for earlier challenges. also, I think an easier one might re-gain the thread some more attention, and more people would be encouraged to join. I'd especially love to do hats or jewellery, as they are both accessories I'm planning to do or finish in the near future anyway, and a little extra pressure might make me finish them easier ^^
