baby doll dresses

Sadie's baby dolls "needed" some new dresses...aren't they cute? I used this tutorial/free pattern, and sewed them up during the girls nap time. They have been nice enough to nap at the same time lately! Isn't that wonderful of them?

I made a quick matching headband for the orange one...agh! I think this may become a new obsession. That's not weird, right?

And they're reversible! awesome. Two dresses in one. Although in hindsight I should have swapped the fabrics so the dollies could coordinate. You know, call each other up on the play phone,"Which dress are you wearing today? The orange? oK!"

What, you didn't do that in elementary school? I did! (with my pals Jenny and Jennifer...we were the three J's, and had the coolest clothes...er....)


the back. Ooh, scandalous, you can see her diaper!

I'm on the lookout for more doll clothing tutorials, so if you know of any good ones, let me know!

Did you see the cute cute doll clothes that Sachiko at Tea Rose Home made for her daughter's dolls out of her daughter's old clothes? They are so so cute, no tutorial though-she just eyeballed it. http://tearosehome.blogspot.com/2010/07/clothes-memory-blanket-and-mini-clothes.html

It's so nice that they are not naked even if the diaper is peeking thru. Very cute designs!

You are so creative and talented. I absolutely love the doll clothes and all the felt food you've been making. Especially those bananas!! I wish I could make half the things for my daughter that you do. Unfortunately I am a non-sewer. Do you think you'll ever sell doll clothes or felt food in your Etsy shop? Hope so! Thanks for sharing all your great stuff!
