My Fall Ideas

I am not missing but have been very busy lately. Nothing has been happening in the doll world with me as I have been outside doing yard work, trying to clean the house and having a lot of appointments to go to. It calms down next week which is nice though outside work remains a priority. 

Fabric - Part 1

I have a lovely piece of fabric I want to make a dress for one of the dolls. 

It is printed on the diagonal which has me looking for the perfect pattern. I'm still looking as I don't want pleats or a circular skirt. I do want sleeves though. I'm sure it is going to be an adaption of the basic dress and could be a Christmas dress for one of the dolls. 

Fabric - Part 2

I put myself back onto a fabric diet as I bought way too much after shopping at the local quilt shop. It is back to using up what I have in the stash. I'm okay with that as I have some lovely fabrics to sew up. 

Have you put yourself on a fabric diet after a buying spree?

Pattern Drafting

I have set the pattern drafting aside as I need a desk. Working at the dining room table was not a good idea. Things went downhill rapidly as I would get to an interesting point and have to put it away for meal time. 

 My idea has been sewn by someone else in the Gotz doll size.  

The dress was sold by Sofia Doll Shop (Ukraine) on Etsy. She does not say if she has designed it herself or who the designer is.  I love the how this dress turned out and will continue with my bodice design. 

I have the bodice done for the American Girl dolls but not for the Gotz dolls. I may get this done before as soon as I have time as I have the fabric, lace, and buttons for it. 

Pattern drafting for the Gotz dolls will resume once I get a desk. It is out of stock at the moment at our Ikea.  I am looking forward to designing patterns when I have the desk. I am also looking forward to seeing if I can publish a pattern or two that I design and draft. 

What do you have planned for this fall?
