Doll Clothes- Jacket

My daughters received an American Girl Doll for Christmas last year.  I have made a few outfits with my daughters for the dolls and few on my own.  I guess I was so busy making doll clothes that I never posted... Matter of fact there are quite a few projects that I never posted.  In the coming months I hope to get it all out there.

This is one of the first things I made for the American Girl Doll.  It fits her just fine.  If you would like the pattern it is Simplicity 5733.  

The pattern was very easy to follow. The one thing you should not neglect to do is it is turn up the hem on the sleeve before you sew the sleeve closed. Lesson learned.

I used a pair of jeans that no longer fit my daughter I thought they would be perfect for a jean jacket and skirt.  The skirt is not in the pattern - that was my creation.  I used the actual hem of the jeans for the bottom of the skirt.

Secret Santa Was Very Good To Me

Our Quilting Bee had a Secret Santa gift exchange for those who wanted to participate.  I joined in.  These things always makes me nervous because I always worry the person will not like my gift.  I will share what I gave on the next post.  I did receive an amazing gift from someone in the Bee that I happen to be friends with.  That girl, M, knows what I like.  She knows I adore Kaffe Fasset's fabric.  She knows I love scraps and she heard me talking about my desire to do Mariners Compass Star.  Dang, she is good.
She made this adorable little duffel, that I totally need to get the pattern for.  Is she amazing or what?  Perfectly sewn!  You rock M!
And being the smart and wonderful person she is, she added chocolate.  Love it!  Mint chocolate happens to be my all time favorite chocolate combination!
Then she cut 10 inch strips down the length of her fabric and rolled them all together.  Layer cake?  Is that right?  I am still new to these terms. Aren't they luscious?
10 inch square cuts of fabrics.  Totally delicious as well.  I am so loving these.  I will have to just sit back and admire all this stuff for a while.
And finally this great pattern which I hope to work together with M on.  She has a pattern as well.  I like that M- one for you, one for me.

And let's not forget that really cute gift basket.  It's a drum shape.  Don't you love it?  I do!
