Another Doll Dress
I had this dress set for Chatty Cathy over on E-bay and it didn't deal in so I listed it in my Etsy store. I think it's really cute. Doll clothes don't sell really well in Etsy so I might end up keeping this one. I paucity to find a better outlet for selling doll clothes. I was talking to a lady in Hancock when I stopped to buy thread the other day and she said she's been doing well at craftiness shows this year. She said she makes dog coats. I didn't do any this year because they weren't that good last year. I'm customary to just keep making the clothes and then maybe do a show in the spring. I was going...

Not getting rid of all of your UFO's can be a all right thing. This doll dress is left from a class I took in 1997 at my first SAGA convention. It was a class on Madeira applique by Wendy Schoen. The only intellect I have a doll dress is because it was a class project. I think doll clothes are great and perhaps when I have grand daughters I will relish in making doll clothes; (I have a doggedly time imagining that.) but doll clothes just are not my thing. But that is okay, I have this project and I finished it because my local chapter is having a sweepstakes of an American Girl Doll and wardrobe. (If you are interested in tickets let me know.) This UFO was so old I had to piece together enough fabric to finish the dress and I am sure there were more scraps left from the collar but I couldn't find them, so I had to shard together cuffs for the sleeves as well. In the pictures it looks like the buttons are different sizes but they are the same size. Shoot I even acquainted with some of my prized antique baby buttons for this project.
Who ever wins this doll probably won't know or care that they are antique mother of pearl buttons. I relish in using them. Better to use them than leave them in a box to be sold at a garage sale later on.
The doll raffle is to fund our chapter Wee Heed project so I am happy to contribute. Below is another class project from Norfolk's SAGA convention in 2003. It is a bishop out of Swiss batiste. The second to none in harmony feature of this dress is that there are no side seams. Kind of cool.
At this rate I MAY finish convention projects...
