I spent yesterday sewing again for my blond Sasha from 1971. I made her a pair of dungaree/overalls and a white cotton blouse. I'm very pleased with how the two items came out....I used another pattern from 'Grandmas Patterns' on Ebay....it's so nice to have 'ready made' patterns!! I liked how simple these dungarees were to make and yet very effective. I usually put 6 working pockets on my MSD overalls and they take forever to sew, but these just have the one pocket, on the bib, and little Millie is still happy with them!
I think eventually I would like to use the blouse pattern to make school shirts, I have lots of nice cotton shirting fabric at home, which I'm sure would be really effective used for this style of shirt/blouse.
I think tomorrow it will be someone else's turn for a new outfit!!
Looks great Sharon, It is a good pattern that works well. Love the overalls and my girls covert her shoes!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Lorraine! I love these shoes too!
DeleteWhat fab dungarees
ReplyDeleteThanks so much DollMum! Glad you like them!
DeleteLove the fabric of the dungarees. What a lovely set for Millie who looks fab in them.
ReplyDeleteGreat shoes too. Millie looked like she enjoyed modelling them for the photo's.
Thanks very much Dee, glad you like them. Millie has become a bit of a model recently, she seems to enjoy it too.....bit of a DIVA on the quiet!
DeleteSharon, Millie looks FAB!! You really must consider making clothes for Sasha...our girls and boys need you!!
ReplyDeleteYou are very kind, thanks Ronny! I'm getting ideas now...watch this space!
DeleteMillie looks really great in her new outfit. When I look at your Sashas and the things you make for them I get a feeling that they look good in things that are a bit different from the BJDs. It must be really nice to sew for these dolls for a change.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lene, I'm glad you like it. Yes, they do seem to dress differently....although I plan on trying some more 'bjd-ish' looks one of these days! It's certainly nice sewing for them, I have to say!
DeleteI am a huge fan of toile fabric and often use it in quilts. She looks absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your comment, I'm glad you like her in her outfit. I love this fabric, and the added bonus was that I found it locally! I got this and another which has a deep beige background. I have used that to make another outfit for a different doll....I think I'll go get some more actually!
