i'm a bit obsessive...


...when it comes to sewing these dolly clothes. I just couldn't help myself! They are soo easy and quick to sew up. Plus, it's a great way to use up my random scraps and fat quarters! I found this awesome pattern (printable on the bottom of the post), and went to town!

Some skirts, denim shorts, shirts...

...and dresses galore! I cannot get enough of the mini version I made of the Ice Cream Social Dress. Agh! too cute! My eyes! Here are my favs on her dolly:

agh! love it. and finally able to use this awesome fabric!

I adjusted the bodice piece from the pattern and made a shirt out of it, with a few fabric flowers stitched to the top. I love this top because it goes with other shorts and skirts. A dolly's gotta have options!

I love the simplicity of this one, and the little band of white (twill tape)

I heart the pieced look of this little sundress, and I was finally able to use up some teeny tiny scraps from this quilt. (which, hasn't gotten finished, btw...someday)



The best part of all this craziness? Sadie really loves the clothes! She's been having the best time dressing them up. (well, making me do it...which I really don't mind, haha) This is the most excited she's gotten about something I've made her, which of course, makes me want to make a gajillion dolly clothes. Good thing I have a lot of scraps!


P.S. I'm pretty sure this doll dresses WAY better than I do. Just sayin...

The saddest thing about this, is that your child's dolls have a better wardrobe than I do...you think I'm kidding. I'm not :)

And you SHOULD put some of these in your shop!!
