My first finished doll dress came out looking like this. Next time I'll make the bodice shorter so there is more skirt to see.

Wow, I'm so glad you FINALLY posted something! I was starting to feel a little weird.
My first finished doll dress came out looking like this. Next time I'll make the bodice shorter so there is more skirt to see.
I dreamt up the sleeves myself because as you can see from the practice dress, it's not ok to see baby doll's white, fabric upper arms. I think they turned out cute. Ella was so happy with the dress that she's now doing this thing: "Mom, I'm so excited! Can you make her some booties and a purse and some pants and a hair thingie...". Actually it's so humbling to me that Ella totally believes that I can do anything when it comes to a needle and thread. She has no doubts about me and I have so many about myself. She's a precious gift. The longer these kids are around the more it is revealed to me just how much of a blessing from God they are. It makes me want to cry. To add a bit of spice to this rather sentimental post I'll put in this picture of Sarah who wanted every barrett in the drawer in her hair yesterday. She's a beauty! She doesn't really care about my sewing though. She does care about the cookies.
