frustration

I am working on 2 dolls right now and I am getting very frustrated with both of them. This is S. The idea with her is an over-abundance of lacey-ness. I’ve made her a slip and am now working on her dress, but they are not working together the way I want them to…

bodice-

the dress is reworked from a vintage baby dress. I thought I had it all figured out, but after sewing the sleeves on, I discovered that the neckline of the bodice is higher then I planned- totally hiding the lace of the slip. And there is a lump where the lace is under the bodice. Something is going to have to be redone.

This is B. I want to make a vest, but the design is not gelling in my brain…

    I’m confident tht you will figure out the neckline problem. I’ve never been disappointed in a doll you’ve created.

    I love that we are using the same style Bernina sewing machine.

    Mimi, they’re both wonderful! I love watching your dolls come to life!

    All the old stuff I wore as a child is coming back. Kinda scary and makes you feel old, but it looks great most of the time.
