Today I made Emily’s doll a reversible skirt. It’s purple polka dots on one side and denim on the other.
I also made her a white linen shirt, although it is far too late in the year for such.
And last night I appliquéd a squirrel onto a reversible bag for her. It’s all about the accessories, don’t you think?
Better than Barbie? Maybe.
Now it’s time for me to stop playing with dolls and get to work on other projects. My friend Erin has asked me to make her a strapless, edgy dress with a black tulle skirt (for a photoshoot with Melinda Register Photography). I finally ordered a dress form which I think will help with this project… :) It’s like Project Runway meets Real Housewives of Tulsa County. Or something.

It IS about the accessories - I notice the little scarf opening for maximum fashion sense and stability! Love the Squirrel Tote. How did you make the neck firm enough to hold up to play? The whole ensemble is just to wonderful.
Can’t wait to see your friend’s dress and see how you like the dress form. Will you give a full critique and review after you’ve worked with it?

It’s great to see how much fun you’re having with this. She will love it. Yes, definitely better than Barbie.

Way better than Barbie of course!!! It is so hard to get tiny clothes on a tiny Barbie. The doll is a better size. No chance of ripping the clothes.
