Something-from-Nothing Doll Dress


Felicity, my $1.00 yard sale doll, wears her new something-from-nothing dress. It's made from pieces in my 'doll clothes' fabric stash, where I tuck away bits that seem to lend themselves to dolls. The satin underdress and tulle are from my daughter's wedding dress, and the tiny bit of silver net and piece of sparkly tulle have been in the stash for years. I'm forced to admit I had to spend $1.50 for the silver trim, as nothing I had seemed to work. The pattern is from 'Sew the Storybook Wardrobe for 18" Dolls', by Joan Hinds, which I checked out from the public library--one of my favorite places!

  2. That's amazing that you found Felicity for $1. I've made some pretty good yardsale finds at times, but that's great!

  7. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  8. Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
