Hi everyone, Foster here, and today I'm reporting from the sewing room! Yep, that's right, we have been in here a lot lately. That's because Mom's on another roll: making more doll clothes for Belle!Well actually, they're for her future "doll clothes business". Belle is just the model. And I'm excited to share that we've …
Okay, I have a name for my 18-inch doll clothes "model". Meet Belle! Awhile back, I made two little girls' outfits like this for a "Beauty and the Beast" themed event. Since I had fabric scraps left over, I made them a "Belle" dress for their American Girl doll. It was then that I realized …
At my house there's a new motivation to clean the sewing room! The reason can be expressed in the following three words: "It's a girl!"Yes, Kate and Carlos had a girl! So I am now in "sewing heaven" with all the baby ideas I have found on Pinterest. Fortunately I have no shortage of materials …
In the story of the "Three Billy Goats Gruff", as well as in other Scandinavian folk tales, it was dangerous to cross bridges because trolls lived under them. Well, you may not know this, but trolls also live in large cardboard boxes marked "troll houses, trolls and other items from 1960's-70's"!You may remember that in …
Who's got the button? When I was little my Grandma Johnson used to play a game with us kids. It was called, to the best of my recollection, "Button, Button, Who's Got the Button?" I don't remember all of it, but it involved one person having a button in their hands and the others trying to …
The first item of clothing I ever made for myself was a pink "peasant blouse" when I was in eighth grade. But I'm guessing that for most of us who learned to sew as kids, our actual first projects were doll clothes. When I was in elementary school I made "troll clothes" by cutting arm …
Or, "Does this look like a Rottweiler?" You've heard of Zazzle and Etsy stores, right? Well, I used to dream of having an online business in which I would sell finger puppets and other handcrafts. It was going to be called "Debra Kay's Online Finger Puppet Emporium." When I was in my early 20s, I made …
I admit it: I have forgotten how many Pinterest projects I've done, so I don't know what number this one is! Yes, it's true...I have succumbed to the DIY Ottoman! For awhile now (maybe two or three days,) I have been thinking that I needed an ottoman for my recliner. Why do you need an …
I seriously have way too many craft books and supplies. Wait, is that even possible? Nah... It dawned on me recently that I have enough craft books, craft supplies, and unfinished projects to last the average person a lifetime. I have enough ideas floating around in my head to last another. Ah, yes...so many crafts, …
In looking through a lot of craft related blogs, I've noticed that every now and then someone does a post about their unfinished projects (aka WIP/works in progress). So as usual, I thought "I can do that!" I looked through my drawing pads to see what I could contribute to the "WIP" tag. I counted …
