back to school for doll

School starts in less than a week,

so time to sew....for dolly!

She is a low key girl,

just jeans and T-shirt!

We are not talking skinny jeans here,

fashion is not the main element,

I do not want to have to put them on!

Miss C. needs to be able to do it without help,

so comfy, boot cut jeans!

I started with a simple pants pattern,

Simplicity 2144,

to make them into "real jeans"

I stitched some details in orange threads:

 pockets, waist band, hem...

and it really started looking like real jeans!

Since real jeans are not stitched this way,

and that I wanted to keep the similar details,

I had to over stitch the inner seam,

it was very hard and I was not able to go right to the top of the crotch

but I think it is not too visible!

The pattern for the shirt is from Liberty Jane Patterns,

it is the trendy t-shirt,

one of their free patterns.

It sewed very nicely and quite fast,

I like the little cap sleeves,

it is a lot more close fitting than the traditional t-shirt patterns,

but the Velcro in the back makes it really easy to put on.

She is ready!

Happy sewing!
