Doll Clothes

Well my friends, the simple idea of making some doll clothes for our granddaughters sounded easy enough, but girls let me tell you that I am not a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination. I love to quilt but seriously remembered why I don't sew clothing-it is just too involved for me. If I had someone beside me who sews clothing or doll clothing, it probably would have been easier; but I am thankful the last snap has been sewn on and I just need to press them and clip any stray threads. I'm thankful that the oldest granddaughters are just seven and won't be looking too closely. It was fun and I think if I had more time I could get into it. Give me a quilt any day.

 

Simple nighties for three of the girls; the other two granddaughters each get one that I bought at a craft fair.

These two dresses are my favorites!  I love the peasant look of these dresses.  I have so much fabric I can see trying more, when I'm not in a time crunch.  I also got to try some stitches on my machine for the hemline that I haven't tried before; a border of flowers and hearts will bring joy to any little girl.  

Now I've got to lay out all the stockings and start wrapping presents for each grand and then comes cleaning our guest room-which should have a sign outside that says Disaster Area. You really don't want to see my sewing room, it has fabric everywhere.  Oh well, I am just glad to be finished.

Tonight we are going out with friends for a lite dinner of appetizers at a seafood restaurant-yumm.  Tomorrow we have our girlie tea party with the seven granddaughters and our two girls; I've got to make a pound cake now. I have two craft projects to make with the girls, which should be fun. I hope I can get some photos.  I hope you have a wonderful afternoon and evening.

Joy to you! Noreen & Hunter
