I recently met the owner of an antique shop in nearby Ellicott City and we got into talking about handcrafting and sewing. She repairs vintage dolls and asked me whether I could make custom clothes for her clients. I thought It would be a fun change in my regular sewing routine and here is the first commission completed: A blessing dress for a 1923 Grace Putnam Bye-Lo baby doll.

The store owner was quite happy with the result and will probably give me more commissions in the future.

Look how peaceful she looks ... how precious :)
What a fun project for you to do...you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteA friend asked me to make doll clothes for her daughter's new doll. She has the pattern she wants me to use and I am anxious for her to give it to me so I can get started!
ReplyDeleteThat looks gorgeous, and what a good opportunity for you to do something different.
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious dress!

Just beautiful, you did a wonderful job! I have a doll that looks similar but I got mine in the 1950s (gosh my doll is vintage and so am I :) she was left in the attic for years and then I rediscovered her, the dress had dry-rotted so I had to make a new one. I bought a pattern because I could never have done it without one. Thanks for sharing your beautiful doll dress with us! Hugs ~ Mary
