Interrupted Holiday Sewing

Who knew that keeping a five year old for five nights would derail my holiday sewing schedule.  Miss V had very definite ideas about what we should be sewing while she was with me.  I did get some things done, but there may be a couple of IOU's to adults!

It all started when we stopped at Aunt Maggie's on our way to Grandma's house.  We went up to the sewing room and Aunt Maggie introduced her to the orphan fabric drawer.  Needless to say, we couldn't leave without a few choice pieces of fabric.  And of course, we had to make something out of a piece or two.

Kit is sporting a new wrap dress from another of the downloadable books, Dressing Up 18" Dolly.  This was the very first piece V grabbed out of the bag, and she couldn't wait to have Grandma sew it up.

The next piece became a pillow case.  Of course we didn't have a pillow to fit it, so we had to make one, and did a second one just in case she might get another doll for Christmas (hint, hint, Santa).  She decided that Kit loves Halloween, so hers had to be a Halloween pillowcase and since Ruthie (the doll she hopes to get) likes Christmas best, we need to make a Christmas pillowcase just in case.

  1. Love the wrap over dress! This contrasting bias trim is a pretty finishing touch Marian
