quick wool coat for Kit

Kit was looking chilly so I made her a coat. Although as Phoebe rightly pointed out it’s probably because she has no pants/skirt that she’s cold. That’s up next! I made this coat super fast, using wool and leaving edges unfinished. It was two pieces, one for body sewn up sides and under arms and one for the collar. I cut loops along front so I wouldn’t have to deal with closures. Just sewed on 2 buttons. That’s the way I like doll clothes, easy and fast!

The Galoob

Guess what else I found last week at the garage sale… a new sewing machine! Sadly it’s only 1.5″ tall but it actually works.

I lucked out with a few other appliances, all fully operational FunBeams.

Even picked up a new sound system.

doll dress

I was going to post this yesterday but then went and got bangs cut and couldn't see anything. I'm getting used to head tilt/peering out method so here's the dress I made for dolly. I thought I'd be all clever and copy the pattern from this girl's dress in a Japanese pattern book but yeah, that didn't work. Not the right proportions for Louise at all. Although it does fit Jenny better, she's more realistic. Still I had to redraw the bodice and body and sleeves, which is all the pieces. But it went faster once I gave up on trying to make the front button flap functional like on the girl's dress and just made it decorative. I might cut something else out this afternoon.
