Okie dokie! Today Marion is sporing a sweet little long sleeved dress. I'm really into combining fabrics right now but I think the outfits are turning out good. What do you think?
This little dress has two lined pockets, one on each side.
I used the same pink fabric for the bodice and the trim on the sleeves.
Marion looks pretty cute in this little dress and we're about to go shopping for more doll clothes patterns! :)
The second view is the little dress I've just made and soon I'll be making the top and slacks.
Well, toodaloo! Marion's is calling for me to hurry! Oh, I'm not sure she'll fit in the car seat! What's a doll mommy to do? ;)
If you'd like to see some more doll clothes cuteness, pop over to my friend Diane's blog "Welcome To Lavender Dreams" she is fantastic with her sewing machine.
Remember to pop back in next week.

Marion, you are so beautiful in all your new clothes. Love your new dress with all the pretty trim and the pockets are my favorite. Your mom sure knows how to combine fabrics for just the right look. Can't wait to see another new outfit next week.

ReplyDeleteMarion is just adorable and looks ready to meet her friends!
ReplyDeleteShelia, love your dolly party, wish I could sew little bitty clothes! I've a hard enough time with big costumes! Maybe I'll try some day, I love sewing!

DeleteOh Shelia,
ReplyDeleteI just came from Diane's. Just finished telling her I love to play dress up with my dolls too and how it was nice to know I wasn't the only one....You too? Yay! I am certainly in good company :-) Marion looks beautiful in her new dress. Sending you hugs.

You ladies are so talented!!!! I cannot sew!
ReplyDeleteMore fun! What a sweet dress for Marion. You've inspired me - now I want to get dolls for my two little granddaughters to play with so I can make clothes, too. One of these days I will!

Love your Marion and her wardrobe! I can remember my granny making doll clothes for me! Such special times. Happy 4th my friend. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteNice combo of fabrics......love the slanted pockets!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! The fabrics are perfect together!
ReplyDeleteCute! I find the Simplicity doll patterns are the easiest to sew!
ReplyDeleteJudy
Oh her dress is adorable - you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYou know, if you look at your doll's face really close she looks a lot like the actress Anna Paquin. Her eyes and lip shape is so similar.
Marion looks wonderful, you are a clever lady. I hoped you'd do the other pattern as well so look forward to seeing Marion in her new outfit next week.
