Guess What! Ms. Leo Has Gotten Fat!

 Hey Gang!

Guess what! Ms. Leo has gotten Fat! And no, it is not just from the pandemic! 

I have been slowly putting on the pounds. Creep, creep, creep, creep! I once was a 

size 2, then a size 4, then a size 6, then an 8 and now I am fighting to stay 

at an 8 and maybe a 6/8.I have accepted that I will never be a 2 or a 4 again. 

So I plan to turn some of those beloved Ms. Leo’s clothes in to some doll clothes!

Colored tops

 

I have several cute tops that I plan to use for outfits for some of my girls.

The first two things I made were some dresses for KiKi!

She will be featured in a challenge project that I am making

This red one made is like a causal gown or beach wear.

The next is this caftan.

I have a few things I will need to make for other dolls but this is it for now!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Gifts from a Dolly Friend!

 Hey Gang!

I recieved some really great  handmade doll clothes in the mail from a fellow blogger and Youtuber Shasarignis Barbie & Co.  I remember a while back when she sent her lovely fashions to Van's Doll Treasures Vanessa!  I thought...how wonderful that must be to receive such wonderful clothes for your doll! As with many of you, I do miss Vanessa and think about her blog and her presents in the dollyverse!

 If you want to see some of the things I was sent, here is a link to some of the handmade fashions that have been created.   I will show you some of what I got and how truly wonderful they are!

So any of you who have hand sewn a item knows that the smaller the item, the smaller the stitch need to be! So to have tiny, even,straight hand sewn stitches is challenging!  

You will note that the vest is lined with buttons! The over lock stitches are excellent and the garments are fun and flirty!

Name tag inside of vest!

Hem!

I showed them to my husband who was very impressed. His father used to be a tailor and showed him how to sew. He admired the stitch work.  We had a long talk about different types of hand stitches and how it is a lost art.

A few pieces model by a few of my dolls! Don't tell Ms. D! She didn't know these came in and there were modeling opportunities!
