sewing doll clothes

For the past few days, I have been making
doll clothes for Miss C. as a Christmas present.

To make them extra special and fun,

I used some of her old clothes and turned them

into doll clothes.

She has loved her "Paris" outfit from Janie and Jack,

she wore it many years, so it was fun to reuse it!

The print for the legging is the right size,

the difficulty was finding enough fabric for the pattern piece

and not too worn out fabric.

I used the McCall's pattern 5775.

For the T-shirt, I used the McCall's pattern 6451.

The scale is a little off, it was difficult to position the pattern piece

to have the appliques at the right place.

The other outfit is also made from Miss C.'s old legging,
she has a wild print obsession!
I reused the legging pattern,
it is an easy project, and it does not need to be perfect,
have you ever check out your kids' legging?
not perfect at all!

The sweater is made from an old sweater of mine that got washed
too many times, and shrink.
I used the Simplicity pattern 4297.
I was able to use the scallop edge of the sweater for the bottom,
the sleeves and the collar.
I also made a little headband with some leftover, perfect to hold back
the doll's hair.

For the scene, I used a bench that I purchased this summer at Michaels,
it is pretty much the right size for the girls.
During the summer, Miss C and I also "planted" some flowers:

We followed these tutorials for the faux dirt

and the faux plants,
it works out very nicely.

I hope she likes these outfits,
they resemble her very much!

Tomorrow (hopefully) I will share

another outfit and something I won!

Happy sewing!
