Matching Easter Dresses

 I love making dolls and I've made a few lately.  My favorite part is sewing the faces and hair, but I never get around to making clothing for them!  Smaller size does not make it much easier than real people clothing like you'd think it would.  At least not to me.

Well, Zoe claimed this doll as her "Dolly" and takes it everywhere.  She sleeps with it and takes it to the store.  It was feeling funny that she was in her unders all the time.  For Easter I made her a matching dress to go with Zoe's Eater dress.  Zoe's the girliest little ballerina princess, so this pink tulle number was perfect for her.  Problem is she wants to wear it daily.....eeeek.  I hide it for 6 days out of the week. :)

I will be listing some of the dolls in my shop soon (just after mothers day).  'Bout time, right?

Tall Dolls in progress

I'm so excited about my first set of dolls.  I started them ages ago in December, but got very burned out by the stuffing process and stopped.  Dolls are FAR more time consuming than you can really imagine.  I am having so much fun though.  I feel like a little girl.  I love to imagine the lives and personalities of each doll as I'm making them.  My favorite part is sewing on hair....I feel like a mini hair stylist.  I need help with mouths still.  They need to be a little happier, but I cant quite get the smile.  I can't wait to deck them out in their own special outfits.  (Excuse their nakedness.....and in some cases limblessness haha..yes blondie is missing an arms still)
