doll clothes swap


In honor of Saint Valentine, here's a little Parisian romance: a flirty pink capelette, a simple linen dress, a mini deer purse and a tiny book of French love poems. I'm hoping this sassy ensemble will bring a little love to my swap partners' special little girls. I went wild with the capelettes, making one for each of my swap ladies, one for my niece and one for baby J.'s upcoming birthday.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and for such sweet words. But, "Oh my!" I love, LOVE, your creations!!! Do you sell them?!! Or do you trade?!! I would love the caplets for my little girls!!! Those are so cute!!! Ah I am in love... Can I link you from my blog? I will be an avid reader of Sugar City Journal!!!

These are totally precious!!! What lucky recipients! You should sell this on etsy...it's fabulous!

Carissa said...

Lovely. I wish I knew how to sew so I could have participated in your swap. The little dress and bag are divine.

Rubyellen said...

Yes, I made it. It is part of a series of cards I made that way for my husband's valentine cards. You can see more at rubyellen.blogspot.com. Do you sell your creations?

Oh so cute! I love how you add pom pom trim to hoods, and the mushroom fabric is so darling!

I love the lining of the capes. My mother-in-law has supplied us with two HUGE bins of exquisitely detailed doll clothes. Should have gotten her in on your swap!

erika said...

wow, they are sooo lovely, I love making little clothes for the dolls of my girls,do you know that marie claire idees has a pattern in each magazine...

Oh so sweet and lovely, I love the whole ensemble, the linen dress is so simple and pretty. I feel quite ashamed now, all the dolls in this house are positively under-dressed.

Marcia said...

Oh my! Yours are absolutely adorable. Mine went out in the mail yesterday. It sure was a fun little project. Thanks so much for organizing. I hope you will post more outfits for us to see.

I absolutely love the little capelettes. It is too bad I don't have any girls to play with them!

I'm wondering about the fabric lining the capes...I have been searching for fabric with those tiny rose buds. Can you tell me where to find it?
Thanks so much

Sangria Maria said...

How adorable! What a great idea to do a doll clothes swap. I don't really sew but that would've been fun to try.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your kind words. :)
