Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Toy

For: Other

Style: Retro / Vintage, Whimsical, Cute


Materials

Black Cotton Lycra with Silver shot decorative embellishment in the weave.

What was your inspiration?

I really love historical costuming, so I am making my lovely Emmaline historical outfit from my favorite points of time.

What are you most proud of?

The tiny little bodice, it was hard making the pattern to fit such a tiny torso, but it came together just right.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

When making your doll clothing, don't let frustration take control...get up...do something else and come back to it...it will wait for you...and then go for it again..its not like the cat...that will yowl for the food bowl to be filled...it can wait.

Nicely done and found it clever how you posed the doll to look like a live model. Funny, but true, analogy in your 'advice' when it comes to your project vs. the family cat. lol
