I have never sewn doll clothes.
Always fearing that the intricate cuts and tiny turns might make it far too difficult.
Anything is worth a try, right?
Needless to say this little sewing task has been quite the adventure.
With my Simplicity pattern in hand I set off for lots and lots of stitches.
Apron with ruffles.
Aprons with rick rack.
Over the head aprons.
Ruffled aprons.
A plethora of aprons fit for a clothes line.
Fully dressed and pressed.
With enough tiny stitches for a lifetime of hanging...
This sweet set is headed off to Sandy at 521 Lake Street.
Sandy made a special request and sent all this lovely fabric.
Sandy, I do hope you like them.
They are headed your way next week.
The dolls cloths turned out really cute. You did a great job using a great deal of patience.

They are just precious, esp. all the trim you added I know Sandy will love them ! I still have sweet little doll clothes my Aunt made for me E in TN
ReplyDeleteThose are too cute! Love it! Thanks for sharing! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a pattern like this. I can't believe how darn cute these are and the fabric and trim choices just perfect. For someone who hasn't ever sewn doll clothes I'd say you did a bang up job there. Sandy will adore them I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteOh Renee,
ReplyDeleteWhen I started reading this post and saw the pattern I SO hoped they were mine!!!I LOVE THESE!!!!! So perfect! I have a cute spot for them in my laundry room! Thank you, thank you! They are just perfect!!!!! :):) Sandy
Is there anything You cant make??? I think NOT!! :) These are just too Special!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing set of doll sized aprons Renee! They will look so cute in Sandy's laundry room...hung on a clothesline I hope. When I was little, my Mom made all of my doll clothes for my 8" and 10" dolls. Slips, dresses, coats...so many details. Once, I traded a bunch of them for "store bought" doll clothes...you can bet my Mama made me march them right back and get the homemade ones back.

You have to have lots of patience to make all of those sweet little dresses, Renee! And they're going to such a nice home too. My Mom made clothes for my Barbies when I was little, and I still have some of them. She even knitted a wedding dress for Barbie, which she never used, because she is just too busy to settle down with Ken!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful job...these will be cherished for years to come.
ReplyDeleteI still have all of my Barbie clothes that my mama made for me and they are still in the Barbie case...

FANTASTIC!!!!!!! You did a fabulous job! They are just so precious. I love making doll clothes-18" and larger, NOT Barbie. Go go girl!
ReplyDeleteThese are so SWEET! I can't imagine the patience it must have taken to make everything in perfect minature. Seriously, can.not.image. having the patience. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI just realized I have this pattern. It is so darling. I think now, after seeing your work, that I should make a garland to hang in my kitchen. If I do I'll send you a picture since you are my inspiration!! Very cute!

Your tiny aprons are so sweet! (Little clothes are so hard to make! I would much rather make big pieces, than small.)
ReplyDeleteRenee what level of sewing should you be on to tackle this project without wanting to chunk it in the trash...just saying...lol
ReplyDeleteI love it and would so do this in a heartbeat..but I don't know about the littleness of it...lol
