Hi all,
Just to let you know that i have succeeded and made a dolls dress,
To them that already know me ....i struggled with every pattern i tried to make..3 attempts at making a simple skirt and it still didnt work.
So i tried something smaller ..the dolls dress, and im so happy and chuffed to bits with the results.

please take a look!

That is awesome.

Let me tell ya somethin

All new techniques that I try I do it one a doll size version first. that way there is less to rip and re sew and also less fabric waste.
The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!

Cute Dress and Hat! Did you use a pattern for it, if so what was it. I am trying to make hats for my girls and I think this hat is so cute, as well as the whole outfit. Great Job!!!
