Leos!

A quick post to share some leotards I've sewn for 18" dolls such as the American Girl dolls.  I've made both long-sleeved and sleeveless styles; the are trimmed with contrasting fold over elastic (FOE). 

Cheers!

Working as an employee during the week sure takes away from my hobby time!  I have been sewing a few things here and there, but am pleased to finally have finished a regency dress for my collection.  I love the empire waist style, and the light fabrics.  Traditionally, these dresses are white, but I found the fabric I used at Fabric Depot in Portland, OR and thought it was so pretty.  Even better, there was a solid coral fabric that matched so well, I got it and plan to make a pelisse to go with the dress!  The pattern I'm using is from Thimbles & Acorns; challenging to make, but beautiful results.

Thanks for checking back!
