I have been sewing like a crazy person here lately. It is such fun to make all the different variations of The 18" Dress.
I even started putting my cup of tea next to the sewing machine on top of the instructions. Usually I keep my tea out of the sewing room.
Looking at the tea mug I decided to take a break and print a mug ring on my page. I felt so animated that I figured sloshing my tea was the next step. At least this way I could just pretend that I was making a mess.
The spare room is full of dolls and their clothes. All the pyjamas are there and now there are lots of dresses too. I haven't even started on samples for the 20" dolls.
There are so many pretty dresses that can be made from these patterns. There are 7 so far and the red spotty one is the last sample except I just remembered I want to make one with sheer sleeves and a neck ruffle instead of a collar. I also have the ruffle party dress I made last week with the big bow in the front.
I hope to publish the dress patterns by the end of the week. I will worry about the add on bibs later. That's the plan anyway.
I am also working on a wardrobe collection that I plan to publish as a PDF book. It will have 4 outfits for each season and 5 of my basic patterns. I know a lot of you have all the patterns so I plan to publish the wardrobe part separately as well. I have been getting line drawings for all the pieces sorted. Here are some of the pieces.
Happy Sewing,
Val
