Indian Summer Floral Skirt

Since school has started for my granddaughter I thought I would make her something new. I made another one of Olabelhe Claudia skirt. This one has a blush pink background and the hems are trim with brown/white pin dot fabric. Accented with brown ribbon trim on the yoke of the skirt. I made a little bag to match from Pickle pie designs. below is a picture. I can hardly wait to get a picture of her wearing it.. I like the way it turned out and Sarah likes it too.!

Meadowsweet Mini Doll Pattern

I had the privilege to test another one of ellieinspired doll patterns called  mini Meadowsweet which is the skirt doll pattern that  matches the girl version of meadowsweet Skirt Pattern. The blouse is from her Mini Mary Mack doll pattern that I purchase and I took the top half of the dress and made a blouse with pin tucks and I also put pin tuck on the sleeve. Originally I  was going to embroidery some flowers on it, but my machine wasn't exactly cooperating. but I really enjoy adding the pin tucks to it. I made a little jacket for it from Mini Elsie Marley doll pattern that I tested earlier in the year.   Here is a link to elleinspire.com blog that shows the doll outfits made by the designer and testers. the patterns are on sale now at. http://www.ellieinspired.com/2012/08/31/doll-week-recap/
