Another doll quilt....

Recycling at its best!!

The remnants from the last couple of doll dresses, plus a couple from my stash, all came together for this new little ticker tape doll quilt.

These are so easy and use up a bunch of scraps too big to throw away!

Second draft...

Made the pants puffy-er, added the frill To the top (a bit too full but still cute...) and increased the brim of the hat and SUCCESS!!!

There is actually a bow at the front in self fabric, which is hard to see, but it's definitely there! More to come....

Finally!! Some inspiration!!

One of my favorite dolls, my Baby So Beautiful by Playmates, has been looking at me, longing for some new threads. Oh, alright already! Stop with the puppy dog eyes!!!! I'll do something new!!!!

After looking online for some pics of original outfits I found one I liked - a cute little A-line summer top, pantaloons and floppy hat. There is a distinct theme amongst these dolls - they are always very girly! Floral prints, gathered waists, puffy sleeves, always cute and age appropriate - all points that I have trouble with! But here is my first draft, anyway. Need to make a make a few adjustments to the design and construction method and have another go at it......
