5 dresses you can sew with just one pattern. The pattern works for any 4 1/5 inch dolls (ex. Kelly, Chelsea, etc.)
I've found the perfect project to use up all your little scraps of fabric, random buttons, lace and tiny seed beads! Make a doll house and with all your random leftovers, create dolls and a wardrobe for those dolls. I feel like that book The Hundred Dresses, only instead of drawings, I've created about 60 articles of clothing so far. I decided to make four of these doll houses. One for each of my children's families. It reminds me of the time I made quiet books which were a lot of work but a lot of fun! Below are examples of some of those outfits and the adorableness of this fabric doll house and the mini doll I created along with the dolls created from the original pattern. For this fabric doll house and my first group of dolls, I started with this 1973 McCall pattern: I liked the portable house idea but I didn't like the handles on the side of the house so, I moved them to the roof of the house. In the pattern, the clothes looked dated and the dolls hairstyles were so time consuming that after making two dolls, I figured out how to do the doll's hair another, quicker way (see below). Here's a view of the portable house's exterior: Here's a few view of the interior of this fabric doll house: Don't you just love how the bed was designed so that a doll can be tucked into it? And that wardrobe on the other side of the bed, is just so great! The wardrobe Velcros shut and holds all the doll's clothes which is one of the brilliant ideas of this fabric doll house. Notice the doll in the middle, this is the one I redesigned. I'm calling her the Livy doll. On the original doll, the neck is just so chunky and her head seemed out of proportion to her body. I made four of the original dolls like the pattern directed and then I rebelled and redesigned this doll and I'm glad I did. HERE is the pattern you'll need to make your own mini Livy doll. This doll has a smaller head and neck. I also added underwear to my pattern because a doll's bum shouldn't be exposed, right? At the last minute, I decided that the shoe pattern that came with the original pattern was ridiculously small and most children would just loose those shoes if I was crazy enough to make them. So, I created tiny shoes that are sewn right onto the doll and the best part is the child can't take them off. Make sure to print this pattern at the full image meaning the "fit to page" is not checked when printing this. Got it? Print the pattern off & cut out the pattern from whatever ethnic color fabric you want your doll to be. Then, follow the directions below: Are you ready to make a few dolls like this? HERE are the two free patterns and tutorials on how to make the mini tutu dress and the black and white sundress that are pictured in the tutorial above. Have fun sewing this project with your scraps! xoxo Grandma I've linked this to Sew Mama Sew Softies Contest. One doll house was completed to create this post & the other three were sewn after Feb. 23rd. On two of those doll houses, I add embroidery to the outside of the doll house. I love the spring feel this embroidery added along with texture and tiny details from the planter boxes and the wreath.

Finally, my first post of 2018! Are you ready for an awesome year? My first freestyle project this year(not commissioned) will be Maison Francaise. This will be my signature type of French style town house. With a plaster exterior, whites and greys throughout. Just like my previous house Under Paris Roofs. I had a lot of requests to make this one again. So here goes. I start off by using 2 sheets of hardboard. I use hardboard because it's nice and straight, no warping! I bought a ready made door and stairs. I cut out my design with a scroll saw. I use the one below. It's not perfect. There are things that are annoying about it. Like the tightening knob to hold the foot in place keeps undoing. And the blade is hard to change. But it is a very affordable saw. And it does the work. Attach the structure together with hot glue. I found the ultimate hot glue gun! It's by Surebonder. You can get it at Hobby Lobby. It is incredible. I was looking for a new gun when I stumbled on this one. It was new. I hot glued Christmas lights around my real doorway(on steel and on bricks). The lights withstood everything! After Christmas, I had a very hard time getting them off the house. Lesson learned! Use tiny bit on real house... But to put your dollhouse together forever- this glue gun works! I use hot glue sticks from Joann's. But any will do. By the way, I don't get paid by any stores or brands. All the materials you see are purchased by me. There's no fake reviews. I try to let you know what works best or what I find out there that can work for minis. And if you are on the fence about building a dollhouse this year- just go for it! You will love being able to make your vision come to life. Start with a small kit. Like the Primrose. Just to learn the scale and how things are put together. Then you'll be ready to jump in with both feet! And remember there are no rules. Whatever you decide to do and however you do it is the right way! big hugs and the best year ever to all,

A 1:12 scale braided rug If you can plait your hair and have ten minutes to spare, then you can make a braided rug for your dollshouse. That's how quick and easy it is! You will need: embroidery cotton tacky glue piece of felt scissors waxed paper something heavy e.g. a tin of baked beans! I used an embroidery cotton that had variegated shades of blue in it. It sits in the bathroom of my Edwardian dolls house, beside the bath. You can choose a piece of felt for the rug's backing in a colour to tone in with the thread. Separate the embroidery cotton into lengths, each piece of three strands. Cut three lengths 18 inches long. Knot the three lengths together at one end and start plaiting. Cut a circular piece of felt the size you want the finished rug to be. Cover one side of the felt in tacky glue. Starting from the centre, coil the plaited thread around and around, pressing it into the glue as you go making sure there are no gaps. If the plait is too long, cut the end off, dip it in tacky glue to keep the strands together, and tuck it in to make a neat finish at the rug's edge. Place the rug on a piece of waxed paper on a flat surface, cover it with another piece of waxed paper and put something heavy on top. This prevents the rug from curling up. Leave to dry. There - in the time it took for me to write this, I could have made a rug!
