YAY!!! Order: in.

[Salli]

She's already done with my bag! Woo hoo!! So excited

Sorry I have been AWOL, it's Spring Break here and Easter on Sunday, so I am overwhelmed this week. So, enjoy the break, next week will be back to business- and I found my camera battery charger!! YAY!

I almost finished my pair of pants and something green So we will start something new next week

[Salli]

Got my bag from Nina Marie and I just love it!!

Also, TRU has packs of LIV clothes/accessories in the Clearance aisle for $0.48 each! I grabbed one that I liked the handbag in, and I know the accessories will look great on my MH dolls and maybe even Dalice...

What do we want to do for our next challenge? I am thinking dresses since I was inspired by all of the adorable little girls in their Easter dresses yesterday and that is one thing I am sad about not having a daughter

[Katgyrl]

Dresses would be fun!

Question: does anyone have teeny tiny doll buttons they'd be willing to sell a few? I have found one or two sites online that sell them, but you have to buy 100 at a time and I only need about 10 right now. Also I'd want to know I'm going to like those buttons before I buy that many!

[NinaMarie]

Glad you like it Salli

I'd like the dress challenge. I just finished crocheting a dress for the most recent ANTM contest (my first time entering and 4th place, go me!). And i've seen some others working on dresses too.
You could up the challenge by requiring it to be a spring-like dress 

Edit: Katy i've seen a few listings on etsy for less than 100 of small buttons

[Katgyrl]

Oh, thanks, Nina, I didn't even think to look on Etsy!

CONGRATS! I haven't even checked ANTM in a while  How about dresses, and if you make a spring dress you get extra credit?

We should start a "Spring Runway" thread just for our dresses. I feel like they need their own show.

[Katgyrl]

Technically I have three new "dresses" that are covering the nudity of my new monster high girls (yes, I caved and bought some MH! These three are my first ).

They are made out of baby socks - I raided our single sock pile of lost matches. I jut cut neck holes and arm holes for Abbey and Lagoona's dresses, and the ankle part of the sock is where their butt is (it's a little too big but it works for now) and for Cleo's I cut the top all the way off and cut vertically down the middle of the back then cut horizontally to make ties so it would be fitted.

I just got a CAM vampire girl that now needs a dress, I think I'll check out those links. Thanks for those Salli!

[Loona]

yay for dresses! I have one in progress, but I also have plans for another one, and this latter might as well count as spring-themed imho, so I'll try to make this challenge
...unlike the last one, I never got to finish a single pair of trousers or leggings

love your dresses, Katgyrl! I can only second that baby and children's socks are such nice things to make dollie outfits from, they often have such a lovely pattern, and some clothes or accessories are quite easy to make out of them.

[jennovazombie]

Oof, if I finish moving my fabric today I will sit down and make a nice dress!

[Salli]

Such cute dresses, Katgyrl! Socks are the best I wonder if a pair of American Girl doll-sized socks would make good doll clothes? They would be tighter.... Hmmmmmm. Also, Congrats on the MH dolls, watch out, they multiply. I have like 37 now or something and I'm not sure how.....

Don't worry, Loona. My pants did not work well. I need to redo the waisband 

YAY jennova!!! I hope moving it went well. I have so much adorable fabric to make dresses from. I need to chain myself to  my sewing machine sometime this next week

[jennovazombie]

Dress 1 is finished! 
I plan on making more, but I had a migraine and wanted something easy to sew. It's non-fraying fabric so I was able to just cut out arm holes for her!

Cute dress Jennova!

Yes, my 3 MH have already multiplied into 5 

I got two new dresses during my visit to Target today. I peeked in the MH section (dangerous) and saw they had Operetta and had to get her since I'm a huge Phantom of the Opera fan, and then saw this cute outfit for Lagoon that I had to get (so now her little sock dress is on the CAM vampire girl I just got)

Aren't they cute? And look, Operetta has a friend already.

Not really clothing, but I made my daughter two chairs the other day for her Barbie house.

I used the instructions from the Froggy website, they are no sew no glue! I used baby onesies that had stains on the fronts and put them around sections of a poster mailing tube that I cut to size and shape. Easy and Quick! And so far they've stayed intact.

Here's a pic with Cleo and Lagoona (before she got her new dress), they are a good size for MH as well.
