For Christmas this year my girls are getting an Australian Girl doll each so I have started sewing up some clothes for them. They love to change the clothes on their dolls all the time so I thought it would be fun to make a few different outfits (and it will be a nice change for me from changing those fiddly little Polly Pocket clothes all the time!)
I have a few Modkid patterns to make but to start I bought a few patterns from Liberty Jane. I like a lot of their patterns, they are inexpensive and also instant download which is good for someone impatient like me.
These are Button Down Tunics. I'd like to try and find a few of those belts pictured in the pattern, I will have to go hunting.
It has all the little details of a regular sized shirt and I finally worked up the courage to use the buttonholer on my machine. My friend Sara showed me at our retreat this year how to set it all up but I haven't been game but it's so easy to use that I'm not scared of doing buttonholes anymore.
I also made a few mini skirts. I have more outfits planned and have done a few knits as well which are drying at the moment.
I have also done some bag sewing.
I sent these off to Tangled Yarns last week, I didn't want to part with that front top one but I think it's time I had a new knitting bag so I think I might have to make one for myself.

You are so clever Peta! I'm always envious of your talents when I see what you've made. I should probably actually get my machine out one of these days and start trying to get better myself!
These are so beautiful Peta!
Lucky lucky dolls.
OMG those tops are so cute! Woohoo for the buttonholes! A cinch, aren't they!
I blame you if I spend too much time looking at those Liberty Jane patterns tonight.
The dolls clothes are fabulous. You have taken so much care and included so many details. Lovely. Really lovely.

I knew of American Girl dolls but not the Aussie version. They will be the best dressed dolls around. These two shirts are amazing, such lovely details.
