Current Mood : Weary
Of course, I ended up sewing
the third dress in that NG Creations pattern, the A-Line Dress. I’m a sucker
for sewing all of a pattern, even though I doubt I’ll ever use the bizarre ‘couture’
additions she includes. Mostly ruffles masquerading as capes, strange sleeves,
and tiered skirts, so if you ask me, the cleaner, simpler lines are better, but
ya’ll know me – I like trees that aren’t dripping four ornaments, flocking, and
tinsel on each branch at Christmas. With Memorial Day on the horizon, I thought
this fabric would work well. I got several large pieces of it in a thrift store
scrap bag about three years ago. It’s kinda busy for doll clothes, but I really
like it, so I used some. That’s the only problem with doll clothes in Barbie /
play scale – a fat quarter can make a whole wardrobe when you really only
wanted that print for a single dress.
Ah, well. If I ever get off
my hinder and get busy on Timey Tell’s repro dress pattern, I’m sure I can make
a cute dress to use more of it, and a set for Princess Dorrie and Prince
Beloved, too.
Not much else going on, we
don’t have really anything planned for Memorial Day, except going to visit DMIL
& FIL for a bit. Mostly to talk about this move we’re getting pushed about.
I’m hoping we can have our say this time, and have it stick a bit more than it
has previously. And that they know what they want together for themselves.
