Finally managed to force myself to sit down and sew these babies up. Reusable produce bags. Considering the complete excess of every type of fabric I own, I couldn't bring myself to buy ready made ones! I have seen really good ones with toggles in the shops though, and the prettiest ones here.
I managed to finish up the Seamwork Addison top that I started in about January! And it's so clever with the 'burito' facing finish. it's got me wondering if that's how i should be sewing dolls tops...
A cat skirt, because why not? I can and she's only little once... I saw some cute versions of Pinterest. I used the Purl Soho gathered skirt measurements and it was perfect for her. Obviously I left their pockets out. She asked for blue! And I heard her say to her brother last week- I love my (Barbie) camper (they take all their animals on camping trips!), but why is everything soooooo pink!? And I mention this as hope for anyone with a tiny girl caught up in the pink/purple phase! It happens, but they work it out! Phew.
Contemplating tiny doll quilts... I love them, but there is that age old question- will anyone want them!? Will anyone pay for them? Why am I making them... of course, age old answer is because I want to...
Miss. Matatabi had a sale... what can I say?! I now have grand plans for almost every piece of that fabric! We'll see how that goes!
And wondering through Spotlight, I found these pegs!! And they are really really clever and handy! I have always basted the gusset piece to each side of the head, which is reasonably time consuming, but I have just finished up 3 dolls using these pegs and they seem to have held the fabric really well. I also spotted some online that you can somehow sew over the top of... which sounds kind of magical to me!
And upon purchasing supplies for my Fibreshare buddy, I stumbled upon this perfectly thick and soft 100% merino wool. It is divine. And I love it... It's made all the other wool look kind of bland and shabby!
