Purple Dresses Galore

Grandma Mary donated some purple satin to the cause of dress making.  

Here are the different ways Elizabeth made dresses using it.I (Olivia) drew the dresses on paper.  

Elizabeth says, "Emma is wearing the purple dress with a white and blue fabric and Emma loves it. The other dolls are jealous."

"Stella (formerly Aurora) is wearing a lacy purple evening gown. She is wearing it because I (Elizabeth) made it too small for the other dolls."

"Georgia is wearing the dress with fuzzy peach sweater fabric and ribbon straps."

 Stella is wearing a cape that can do three things
1. Regular cape.

  2. hair / neck attachment .

3. Hair drape .

Elizabeth started sewing on Grandma Mary's beginner sewing machine.  

Bodice is made from fleece, skirt from swimsuit material, with a ribbon flower to accessorize.

Olivia and Elizabeth learned how to do some cross-stitching during Spring Break. Olivia is making a rose and Elizabeth is making Pepe Le Pew.

What should we do next? Please comment.  

New Year New Design Ideas

Elizabeth has been working on some new formal wear for this doll.  

 She even made a little flower to go on the dress.  Now for making the neckline just a tad higher. ;)

 A fresh tutu.

 Elizabeth has been making many bags to hold supplies and new clothes.  Who wouldn't want a satin bag with ribbon handles?  So silky and functional.

Elizabeth got a sewing machine for Christmas, but it was too little for her and it didn't work right, so Elizabeth is borrowing a beginner sewing machine from Grandma Mary to get her started.  Elizabeth really likes sewing by hand though!
