Doll's Dress

With left over fabric from some aprons, I made this for Miss 4's doll.
I used a few strips, getting a little longer and wider for each strip.
Gathered them onto each other.
Stitched some broderie anglaise edging on the bottom.
And a narrow piece of elastic around the top.
I made one seam down the back and stitched some cord at the centre front to make a halter neck tie strap.

Doll's top & booties

I've been promising to make some clothes for my little girl's doll for ages.
My Mum used to make doll's clothes for me and I just loved that she did!
So today I finally came good on my promise and made a top and booties for Molly Dolly.

 

I used McCall's Pattern #5553.  Dolls clothes are incredibly fiddly because they're so small.  But I love making them because you can finish something in a couple of hours.

Guess who's got the sewing bug?

So, what to sew next??

Another outfit for Miss 2 perhaps.
