UP Inspired Outfit

A new doll calls for new clothes!  

To make this cute outfit inspired by Disney's UP, I started with the t-shirt.  I used this pattern, and lengthened it about 3/4 of an inch at the hem.  Before sewing the pattern pieces together, I ironed on a picture of the UP house with balloons.  I found the image on Google images.

The shirt has great mix and match ability because of all the different colors of the house and balloons.

The leggings are upcycled from the sleeve of a child's shirt.  I cute it the length I thought it would need to be, and measured how long the legs should be.  I cut a line up the middle to make two pant legs (similar to how I would make a pair of doll tights from a sock) and stitched.  The waistband does not need elastic.  The hem has a cute decoration.

The two pieces:

I've been having fun trying out hairstyles on Beth's short hair.  Here are some bonus shots of her hairstyle:

Lacy Kimono

I accidently posted this earlier today before it was ready.  It didn't have any pictures yet!

I made this cute top out of sweatshirt fleece using the tutorial on Many Small Friends here.  It was supposed to be for my American Girl Doll, but it turned out a little small because I didn't have enough fabric.  My slimmer Kidz n Cats doll always needs new items for her wardrobe, and it fits her great!

I liked the raw edge look in one of the examples on Many Small Friends, so I didn't hem the sleeves or the neckline.

It has a boatneck

Lace at the hem

I still wanted one for my American Girl Doll, though, so I made another!  This time, since my fabric piece was too skinny, I added an extra strip.  You can see it at the shoulder.

 

 

 

The extra strip of fabric on each side lengthened the sleeves, so I cut little thumb holes.

 

Also, I updated my Kidz n Cats and OG boy's profile photos on the Meet my Dolls page! 



Flower Cut Out Tank Top

I made this tank top with white interlock knit using this pattern from Pixie Faire.

After I finished the basic tank, I took a stencil of a flower and traced it with a pencil onto the front of the tank top.  I also could have cut the flower shape out of the tank top front pattern piece before putting the top together.

When I had traced it, I used my rotary cutter to cut out the shape.

I then cut out a flower in light pink interlock knit.  

I pinned and stitched the flower to the tank.
