Hi There.....Have you ever made doll clothes?
I actually made a lot of those when I was a young girl.....I learned to sew from a very young age.....My grandma had a singer sewing machine somewhat like on the picture below if I remember correctly.
found the picture on Wikemedia
We learned to sew on pieces of paper to start with.....Just to get that straight line at first.....Later on with real fabric pieces. My mom sewed a lot too so I learned a lot from her. As a teenager, I made clothes for my dolls to start with and later on for myself 😀
14 days ago I made the first post on a doll dress I was making.....Here is the link to it.

And since I finished the garment I wanted to share the follow-up blog post.....After all, today is another Needleworkmonday 😉
Here is a picture from one sleeve I sewed on
I actually made a small mistake there.....Sewing on the sleeve before seeming the sleeves. So for the second sleeve, I did so before sewing it on 🙄
And then, of course, I sewed the other sleeve to the dress.....That is actually the right way to do it.
So then I sewed the seam of the first sleeve. Next, I sewed the seams of the bottom of the dress.
Be sure to open the seams that you made before.....As on my picture here
Then there were heaps of wires that I needed to tuck in.....Not the most fun part but it has to be done 😝
Last but not least.....And I did that by hand I had to put on the belt. One part on the left side of the dress and the other one on the right side. I did this so that it would be easy for my granddaughter to take it on and off her doll 🙂
This is the final picture of my wrap dress
I gave it to my granddaughter just before all this madness started.....The last time I was able to pick her up at school.....She was so happy with it and immediately put it on her baby doll.....I have seen her since but from a distance......It's pretty hard not being able to hug her but great to see her at the same time.....I wish for you all to stay safe in these troubled times 😍
Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day
