SIGN UP IS FULL Let the sewing begin!!
Farmgirl bboopster-Betty Jo and I have been talking about a swap for our own doll and then making and swapping 6 outfits.
A universal size is 18 inch child doll. I am thinking American Girl size. The pattern books have many clothes patterns for American Girl or any 18 inch dolls.
We'd like to start with swapping prairie type dress, and if you want to add pinafore or apron and possibly bloomers (that is up to you). For the less experienced sewers a simple dress would be fine.
The Prairie-old fashioned (everyday or dressy) dresses are to be sent in to me by June 10th.
You'll get back 5 different ones PLUS one of your own.
Betty Jo has also suggested that anyone can make their own dolly or outfit and post a pic here for us to see. If you didn't join to make 6 outfits, then feel free to show us what you have made for your dolly. That will be our Fashion Show!
CUT OFF is 6 participants!
Participants so far are
1. bboopster-betty jo
2. yarnmamma-Linda
3. tziporra--Robin
4. smoothiejuice--Jess
5. Carmen
6. SheilaC-Sheila

yes, I'll send them soon, just got to remember who gets how many from me. Jess, tell me again who you sent how many to?
I am so confused I don't think I'll host a swap again for a long time.

I know this time of year is so busy, but I'd love to have the clothes for my daughter's birthday on the 29th (yes, December 29th). I will just take what I can get if you have anything at all there.
Best,

Hi all -- I know I have been out of touch for a couple of months for one reason or another, but ALAS! I have still not received any outfits :( Were they sent and just lost in the mail? Please help.

Hi Robin!
I am working on getting 4 outfits out to you and Jess (smoothiejuice) is sending 2 directly to you. Just like she explained. :-)
I know I have it here but you could send me your address quickly too.
So sorry for the delay. I am feeling better now and we'll get this finished up soon.

YOu know Robin, Linda has been sick, she has not been able to be online so much. She emailed me a few weeks ago and said she was going to send out to you and for me to just send out to you as well. So I asked her for your address, and I never heard back from her again. So I don't have her address or yours to send outfits to, so if you want to email me your address, I can send you the ones I have from Carmen and myself to you.

Well i really had fun reading all these posts and seeing some beautiful doll clothes. i love dolls, but I don;t have any any more. I like to make rag dolls, I think my daughter may still have the ones I made for her when she was little. Maybe I'll be able to get in some doll adventures. What fun!
Jess , I love the dolly you made for your two yesr old, I bet she loves it too!

cool! this is how it works. I am so glad we are doing this.
Sunbonnets are a great idea. Let's start the accessories swap after this one is completed.
I was sick and in the hospital for a few days so I'm not quite yet done with my 6 dresses. The ones I have are nice though.

We got Carmen's outfit today, and my daughter LOVES it! She especially liked the notebook/pencil ("it's a REAL pencil, mom!!")and the tiny clothespins and little hairbands too! She's loving it.
I asked her what she thought about another swap and she wants to help me out next time, her suggestion was sunbonnets (she does love these, wears them all the time in the summer herself) |

Hi all --- I've been totally out of it because of continuing health problems with the baby (he's fine, but has to see LOTS of doctors which is a real time sink). SO glad that Jess's daughter got her outfits in time for her birthday -- and my daughter was delighted to see the outfits "we" made making another little girl so happy :D
I think I'll have to skip the accessories swap since my sewing time is nil right now. But I'll check back for the next one for sure.
Best,
Robin |
