here's what I've been up to the past week and weekend. The unicorns are samples for something I'm doing for an HT friend, and then the doll dress is for someone else. The dress was a week of sewing a little bit at at time in the evenings last week.  Angie |

Angie, that little dress is adorable.  I hardly have enough patience to sew full size clothes, doing it in miniature is a real testament to your skills and patience.  I like the Unicorns, and you say those are done with an automated machine using software? They are very nice. I'm still trying to figure out what I'd like to put a Phoenix on, my thoughts are   right now so it might be a few weeks till I make a decision.  |

Kathy - just let me know and we'll work it out for the Phoenix. And the doll dress is nice, cause at this size it's big enough to see, but small enough to not take much fabric. A doll dress like this takes probably 98% of the time of a full size persons clothes as it's made the same, just smaller. These are the hardest things I've ever made. The Snow White sleeves actually have the little red slashes in them..  Arielle, Snow White, Cinderella and Belle and here's a closer view of that Snow White dress.  Angie |

Oh, those are really pretty! Can you tell I am partial to the fairytale type outfits?? ;D The Snow White dress is gorgeous, I love those sleeves. No wonder more people don't make doll clothes, if there's all that time put into it and customers think the outfits should be 'cheap' because they're tiny, it's just not a moneymaking project. You must really love to sew to do such detailed work and invest that kind of time-I admire that kind of talent.  |

those Barbie doll clothes were done 2 years ago.. sancrafts' daughter was doing sewing for others for Christmas and this order came in, and she was totally stumped, and the fabrics sent to make them out of was not good quality... so I had her send them to me.
What is really funny - is that the receipiant didn't think they were play worthy for her 6 year old daughter. (some of those fabrics were very cheap open weaves).
Fast foward about a year, and this same receipient complained about someone not doing something satisfactorily for her on the HT Barter Board, and it was about Barbie clothes.
I asked if she had gotten clothes from sancrafts' daughter tngirl... she said yes and she was really disappointed in them, etc. That's when I let her know that I was the one who made them and they were the hardest things I'd ever sewn and I offered to make a Princess dress for a Am Girl size doll and another outfit and helped her get a doll like what is in this Colonial outfit for $14 and had my uncle make the 18" doll a bed last Christmas. So, I hear she and the little girl are very happy, but she doesn't post much at HT anymore.

Oh Angie, that's funny in a sad sort of way. Some folks seem to want something to complain about~I'm glad you straightened her out on what went into making those clothes. |

Those Barbie clothes were not suitable for a small child, would require too fine a motor co-ordination to put on and off. And don't anyone try to make them - you'll pull your hair OUT!
Gott'a run.
