We've been getting American Girl doll catalogs in the mail. Angel has fallen in love with the dolls and their colorful clothes. She is especially smitten with the idea of having a matching dress with her dolly. She had been asking for a doll with blond hair for a while, so when I saw this one at Costco for a-whole-bunch-cheaper, I snapped it up. For Christmas, I made them matching nightgowns. The Angel was thrilled.
Recently, I was innocently walking through a store (and it wasn't even a fabric store!) when this pink polka dot material called to me. Nay, it jumped off the rack and grabbed me. It screamed, "Take me home to your daughter and make matching dresses for her and her dolly!" What could I do? I bought some yardage, brought it home, and let it sit in the bag for a few weeks. Take that, screaming fabric.
One night, I got industrious and cut out the pieces for both the big dress and the little one. Then I let them sit for another week or two. Gah. Hate half-finished projects!
So I finally sewed them up, and they were much easier than I thought they would be. And of course, she is delighted! It makes me happy to see my girl happy. Now to see if any of my boys want a pink polka dot dress.
