A small relative will be turning five at the end of September, and she is getting a Journey Girl doll. We'll see how much she plays with it before considering either a Maplelea or American Girl doll. I've been working away on a wardrobe for the doll as part of her birthday present. As always, I have knit a bunch of things, and left the sewing up/snaps/buttons for last. But I did put the buttons on three items today! And weave in the apparently endless amount of ends on another item.
I love the variety of patterns for this size - The Journey Girls are a bit thinner, but sweaters, tops, and dresses seem to fit just fine.
My favourite thing so far is this pattern:
Even the non-doll-people have been pleased with this one, so hopefully the little recipient will like it too! It is in her favourite colour.
I am very tempted to do another in a nice shade of blue or a cheery red, for my little fit model above to keep. ;)
The 18 inch dolls are really too big for most of the doll props I have, but will work with the floor and background with a bit of care, and this board game fit in her hand perfectly!
This is a very cute outfit on a pretty doll...I'm sure your little family member is going to love it! Maybe she would love a Sasha doll too! LOL....just trying to tempt you to sew these beautiful outfits for Sasha too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hopefully she will. :)
DeleteIt's funny you mention Sasha, I dreamed last night that I found one for sale at a local store for $40 and bought it! LOL Probably as a result of all your lovely photos of your Sasha dolls...
