Making A Doll's Wardrobe

 I decided to make another doll's wardrobe as I enjoyed making Kit's a couple of years ago. This wardrobe is more modern and will include more patterns than Kit's did.

I have set a deadline for Christmas as I'm only able to work on this when I have time or need to have something fun to make. I also am looking for patterns to include in the wardrobe. Some are test patterns, some are in the pattern collection and some are free from Pixie Faire. 

I started the collection with a test outfit in a chambray blue print. I'm quite happy with it as a starting point for the wardrobe. 

To this I added a top in the print making a 2 piece dress. 

I am knitting a sweater and tam in a denim ombre yarn to go with the wardrobe.

The idea is to add the following items of which the fabric is in the stash:

  • Leggings - denim blue
  • Capri leggings - white
  • T-shirt - white (not sure if sleeveless or short sleeved)
  • Button up dress - denim print

 I have wanted to make a button up dress that does not have a 1950's vibe and finally found the hack for it.  So, it is on the list. 

I have to dig for the fabric, but I also want to make:

  • Top
  • Skirt
  • Shorts

I need a bit of color in this wardrobe. I'm looking in the stash to find colors that will go with the chambray.

I will keep you posted on my progress.
