Well I&#8217;ve been working hard on these guys for the last 2 days, but they haven&#8217;t really been cooperating.  I am having difficulty with shoes and sweaters&#8230; typical toddlers.<br \/>\nI have a fuzzy dark blue sweater that I thought would be perfect-  I cut out a pinafore sort of thing-  it just wasn&#8217;t working.  Soooo, back to the stash-  I pulled out another old sweater- this time a scottish cashmere, sort of icy green color, incredibly soft  with only a few moth holes (yard sale- $2) and took it apart.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/11:18:cashmere.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here it is in pieces.  I saved all the yarn that had chain stitched it together and reused it when I made my mini sweater.  Below is the sweater in progress- I used the bottom ribbing (the part at the lower edge of the main body pieces) at the bottom of my sweater and also for the sleeve cuffs.  I still need to put buttons on it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/images\/11:18:sweater.jpg\" alt=\"sweater\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then there are the shoes&#8230; I am struggling here.  The one pair I&#8217;ve made is not wanting to fit.  I&#8217;ve resewn one shoe 3 times already.  Time to start over&#8230;  tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>While I was getting frustrated with difficult toddler dolls, I glued the wigs on, finished the edges on the jumpsuits, sewed on snaps and adjusted elastic- all the stuff that doesn&#8217;t really show in a picture.  I am hoping to have these guys finished for the show on Saturday, so I have one more day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, so you&#8217;re thinking, they look the same as the last picture and it&#8217;s been 2 days!
