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.

oh no, I'm naked!





The whole reason Melissa and I have this little blog is because I LOVE seeing what Melissa is up to and copying her!! (See doll clothes post from a few days ago). And often, we are oddly enough working on the same kind of thing (remember the branch paintings, Melissa?) without even realizing it. We have some kind of weird craft/art connection thing going on across the country, I think. Anyway, I got this sweet little linen mouse by Jellycat here for just $12.99 (they also have a very cute zebra, bunny and giraffe) and have been having so much fun making her (easy to pull on) spring wardrobe. I really hope my fickle four-year old likes it as much as I do on Christmas morning - if not, I might just steal it away and go play by myself!

Homemade Christmas idea #6




Homemade doll clothes are a fun and quick project for a Christmas gift. Some of these patterns I made up, but others were from Simplicity pattern 4707 (reproduction vintage patterns.) They are very sweet and can use tiny scraps of fabric. Homemade doll clothes are much finer quality than most store-bought which are made from cheap and ugly fabric. Long live homemade!
