Doll Fashion Recap

The weather looked sunny for jewelry making. I couldn't resist. I thought a cute necklace for the "spoiled" doll would be perfect. So I went to a local bead shop and 
here you have it....


It was a lot of fun to make. And I even had leftover beads to make a bracelet to match. Actually the bracelet and the necklace are about the same size, so we'll see if I will be able to tell the difference.

And now I will catch you up on my past couple of month of sewing.
Get ready for a bunch of pictures...

Welcome

Hi.  Welcome to my blog. Since you are visiting, you must either be a fellow crafter or impressed with handmade items. Either way, I'm happy you stopped in to visit my blog. I will be posting pictures of my handmade items. Sometimes sewing, sometimes crocheting, sometimes knitting or anything else I run across. It will be an excellent way to keep track of my creations and also to inspire you to make some of your own. I am currently running on a 18 inch doll wardrobe frenzy. They are just so cute! How can you not want to make them yourself. I found an excellent website called Liberty Jane. They design amazing patterns for 18 inch dolls like American Girl Doll.


I used the long sleeve t-shirt pattern, the strappy tank pattern and a variation on their faraway downs skirt. This particular item is for sale in my Etsy Store

Since, my attention span for creating and crafting is short. Stay tuned for anything my heart may fancy. Maybe I'll try my hand at jewelry making next. I hear its fun!
