Sewing Sunday

  
Hi! Like the picture? I decided since Review Tuesday had one I would create one for Sewing Sunday. Mainly just an excuse to play around with Picmonkey. I love the site! This weeks creation is something I have been working on for a long time. This was actually a custom order to create a wardrobe for a toddler Disney Elsa and Anna doll for a very special birthday girl :) For the fabric and trim I used a mix of fabric that was currently in my stash and fabric from Joann's that I bought specifically for this project. So, in total I made 2 coats/jackets 2 t shirts 1 pair of pants 1 pair of shorts 3 dresses and 2 skirts. So this was one of the reasons posts on here were very sporadic. Luckily I was able to scale down a few Liberty Jane patterns that turned out to be just the right size. 














 
So yeah, this was a fun and challenging project, especially because of the even tinier seam allowances. Their was going to be three shirts but unfortunately the fabric I was going to use (knit fabric from an up-cylced t shirt) but I failed two times. If any of you have any tips on sewing with knits it would be greatly appreciated :) So are you working on any projects?  My next one will either be a child sized dress or a few basic items like shorts and shirts for my dolls and my Etsy store.  
Thanks for looking!,

    I think the dark green and dark purple shirts are my favorite- some of my favorite colors!
    And that other ruffley purple shirty skirty thing is cool too.

    This is amazing, every single piece! You are an amazing sewer :) I don't have time to sew, so I never do. I hope the special little girl had a great birthday!

    Those outfits are so adorable! I have a Disney's Animator Collection doll, Ariel, and she is in desperate need of a new wardrobe, but I am not nearly as good at you at sewing so she is stuck with slight modified 18" doll clothes ;)

      I know! My sisters Rapunzel doll just wears 18 in doll clothes because, well, the 18 in dolls have the larger priority and I don't even think they have enough clothes to begin with!

    Awesome pieces :) I especially love the black-and-white polka dot shorts and the light blue peplum top.

      Thank you! When I tried the skirt on the doll you would not believe how poofy it is! The lace to me looks like layers on a cake :)
