Too Many Dolls……Too Little Time
I decided to finally purchase the dolls I have been looking at on ebay. I bought a 14″ Betsy McCall doll and a Riley Kish doll from eBay. Then I found a site that had the little Ellery Kish doll for sale. So I decided to treat myself and buy all three. Today I digitized a new collar for a miniature doll. It is really cute and is more of an applique collar. I used white fabric as the background and then used pink thread to make the lacy look around the collar. Then I added 2 tiny flowers. I then digitized matching flowers tied together with a pink bow. I am going to use that for the dress top so the top and collar coordinate. I think the dress will be a light pink fabric. I am still trying to decide if the embroidery will be on a pinafore or just be part of the dress. I also decided to change the closure of the tiny dresses for collector type dolls to snaps instead of velcro. I will continue to use velcro for all the Bratz dolls, because I think that is easier for little kids to dress the dolls with. But I think the snaps will work out better for the 5 to 8 inch collector doll clothes. I purchased a tiny 8″ Betsy McCall last year but I did not make any clothes for her yet. I am hoping to get to that soon. I have a million ideas, just not enough time in the day. I figure I’m building up for retirement some day. Each doll is an investment into my retirement career of doll clothes making. Well back to work…happy sewing.
