I hope you will post photos of the dress, Tamara!

Speaking of sewing tiny things, I am knee-deep in doll clothes to accompany the dolls my girls will get for Christmas. There are a billion free patterns for the 18″ dolls online, but as is often the case with free patterns, I am finding them to be hit or miss. I can’t bring myself to pay money…[Read more]

I am so pleased it worked out @enbee

@with-love-heidiHeidi, I am *finally* about to tackle that pattern. I hope I can call on you if I need to.

I have been sewing for Trixie. A Playtime tunic&leggings, a Bubble dress+bloomers, a Puppet Show+ shorts, a 2+2 blouse and now a Sailboat top and trousers.

I love how quick and rewarding tiny clothes sewing is.

What are the rest of you…[Read more]

What a great topic, thank you @emilyg

This is near to my heart as it is my 7 year olds sewing turn next.

The size will determine my answer @frances-suzanne
Up to size 2T, yes. After that I found it perfect.

Great clothes Fiona!

my sewing has just taken a turn I didn’t think it would for another year or so. My girls decided they wanted American Girl dolls for Christmas. This weekend I tried my hand at making some party dresses for them. I found a jumper pattern online that used to be sold by the company. It is very similar to the O+S Music Box…[Read more]

@lightningmcstitch is correct. This is one pattern that needs to fit well in the girth. Get the smaller size.

(And make a muslin bodice)

I would do as you suggest but sew one side of your collar to the jacket ( the under collar) and the upper collar to your facing/lining.

Then sew those together

@sarvi Yes, they take very little fabric. I had a couple of “diaper cuts” (slightly larger than fat quarters) of girly knit fabric lying around from when I was sewing cloth diapers for my girls years ago and I got two larger pairs out of one cut, and four of the smaller size out of the second cut!

@ock-du-spock CONGRATULATIONS! So exciting! When is the little bundle due? Will your lovely cloth diapers last? 🙂

I am currently sewing something I NEVER thought I would sew – underwear for my girls. I made a pair on a whim when I found a free pattern at smalldreamfactory. They did not fit right at all, which compelled me to try to alter the…[Read more]

@motherof5, I’d love to see the forget-me-not purse. My youngest sister’s boyfriend will be proposing to her sometime this month and I have saved the dress my mother wore to my and my other sister’s wedding. I want to make something out of it for her.
