Okie—time for a reality check.
I have been working on projects—making good headway. However I am not devoting myself solely to one project at a time. It just doesn’t work!
I tried knitting for 8 hours straight—wow did my hand hurt! Those little size 1 needles will kill ya.
Plus—I am a distracted crafter, I will admit it. I probably should’ve been labeled w/an acronym years ago, but we will pretend that I’m perfectly focused and organized. So…wanna see what I have been working on?
Little Miss Crafty has been into her dolls lately—and perusing a certain catalog like it was a holy grail or something. So…what is a mom to do but get to work and make some clothes. This outfit was fun because I used on of her old shirts that didn’t fit anymore. The long sleeves became pants, the body of the shirt became an A-Line dress. I trimmed it with a few strips of gathered fabric—super easy. It has velcro in the back for getting on and off.
*I had to put the bit about velcro in b/c my sister still thinks I sew things ONTO dolls—where you have to be cut out of them.
I have several items cut out, ready to be sewn up, as well as some little knitted projects in the works. As a result Little Miss Crafty has been banned from my workroom. She might see something.
How cute Alison! I am loving it! I really like the ruffles! What a great touch! Someday I hope to be half as crafty as you!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! And I know what catalog you're talking about!
