Happy New Year! I'd been busy over the last month and a half making gifts for my daughter and a good friend of the family. Of course, the gifts are doll clothes! The outfits are for American Girl and Our Generation dolls. For my daughter's "Just Like You" doll, I made a peasant blouse and tiered skirt from Simplicity pattern 3936. It was the first time I made these styles, so I used fabrics I had on hand, which happen to be my daughter's favorite colors. For my friend, I made a simple dress with puffed sleeves and non-gathered skirt. The girl the outfit is for loves bird, so I found some fabric that has little birds on it. I added a grosgrain ribbon at the waist. My model is holding a matching bag; I will be making another with red grosgrain ribbon to match the dress, but since I have to take pictures with the time presents itself, the prototype is shown. ;-) The dress is made from a combination of McCall's patterns, numbers 3900 and 9618, and the bag is from Simplicity 3936.
