@WendyW those are quite nice. The nightgown looks so cozy. Good luck with the selling of them all. Those handcrafted stores can be tricky. Locally they've pretty much died out as mostly people used them as ideas of stuff to make.
Which doll is that? Is that Our Generation? My "girl" Noelle was from Kmart of all places a few years ago just before they changed vendors on the dolls. Now they have fixed eyes and are Newberry dolls. I forget the line name from before but the dolls were made by Madame Alexander, which was the top US doll maker when I was a kid so I was quite pleased.. Noelle has sleep eyes and pretty good pivot range of motion in her joints. She also has a vinyl shoulder and upper chest area so the lower cut and strapless items look a bit tidier then a total cloth body, in my opinion of course. I think if I were a kid it wouldn't matter one bit.
I'm working on clothes for 18" play dolls they call them, like the American Girl dolls. The first commercial pattern I set out to use was for flannel pyjamas and robe. Good grief: they had all the same pieces as a full size pattern, typical pattern notches and button holes sized for 1/4" buttons and details down to piping the edge of the shirt.
I have enough trouble with all of those things in my size.....
I am very slow at them. My hands get stiff a lot and my eyes ? They need some help now I'm afraid.
I admire anything that actually gets finished in the small scales. And to the people who say it's so relaxing and so much fun, I am decidedly suspicious of that.
