“Misc. Sewing” Part 1

On May 15, 2020May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts14 Comments

If you're like me... ...you probably have all kinds of folders (one of which might be named "Misc Sewing")  on your computer desktop, waiting to be used for that one future blog post. Or maybe they are there so you can find them easily, rather than going through you whole "Pictures" file. Also, if you're …

Second Childhood Part 3

On November 5, 2019March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts7 Comments

Or should it be "Third Childhood"? I was going to name this post "Second Childhood, Part 2", but then I realized I've already written that one!

You've heard the phrase "You can't be too rich or too thin," right? Well, I have never agreed with either part of that saying, and neither have Foster and Panda. But there are some things you definitely can't have enough (or too many) of, and we will be addressing that here. You can see if …

What to get that little girl for Christmas? Doll clothes, of course! I've been reading up a little bit about WordPress and its capabilities for online sales. And since I have so many 18-inch doll clothes in my sewing room, waiting for the opportunity to become part of  "Debra Kay's Online Doll Clothes Emporium" (heretofore …

Adventure Awaits

On July 13, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda

So Mom got ahold of Panda yesterday... Any time Panda disappears I always worry. Either it means he is in the wash,or he's getting repaired so his stuffing won't come out, or else he could be "lost in the house" like he was that one time when I was little. This time she took him …

Belle’s Fashions

On May 21, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

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 …

Under the Bridge

On April 13, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

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 …

Panda Repairs

On March 30, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda

You've heard of those "Build a Bear" stores, right? Well, at my house today it was "Repair a Bear"! Yesterday I picked up Panda from the floor and noticed he was badly in need of repairs. He's had one little hole in him before and I sewed that up a long time ago, but unbeknownst …
