Autumn Celebration Dress

Its starting to feel like Autumn! Summer is coming to a close, school is starting, the leaves are beginning to change. Autumn is my favorite season of the year, and I felt it deserved a celebration, so I made the Autumn Celebration dress! This is a great pattern that I like to use as a base for lots of differnt kinds of dresses (see the August Bliss dress) so feel free to use it for whatever you like, whatever the season!

Doll Skirts

Moving on from baby things, I found a couple patterns for doll clothes and used them to fashion my own. Here are a couple of doll skirts I made the other day. I really like them! I guess they were kind of my "warm up" for the doll dress. They fit an 18" American Girl doll.
