Update

Whew!

I had a busy couple of days,
so I thought I would get a
chance to play around and
blog a lot on Sunday afternoon.
Well, that did not happen.

This morning I received payment
for this Skipper outfit,
and I printed the shipping label & packing
slip, wrote a note on the slip,
sealed it all up and got it into the mail box.

Now, this outfit turned out
to be quite popular. 
I know $3 is not much for
a whole outfit, but
money is tight, these days,
so I start my outfits out
low. 
This one got 9 bids and
went for $12.50.
I realise that isn't going to make
me rich, especially after Pay pal
& eBay get paid, but I'm
elated that I made a "hit."

This dress sold, too.
I have not been paid for it, yet.
I think the buyer will enjoy it
and should be happy with
their $1 prize.

Skipper is hiding in shame
because her knit outfit did not
sell.  (Actually, this was to
show the back.)  I re-listed it for
a rather low price, so perhaps it will
sell, this week.

Hoping to play and take pictures
more, this week.

Have fun!

I'm Quite Happy

with the way

this outfit

turned out!

(Maybe I'm not the only one.)

Workin' on...





...listing for sale...

...my work.

Excuse Me, Please

I'm just enjoying some

of my own "stuff" 

from my files.

Betsy Says, "Happy St. Valentine's Day."

Hearts and dress are my work.  The sleigh
is from the thrift store.

14 inch Betsy is seasonal, too.

Her dress length looks...

...better from a higher angle, I think.

Experimenting, Again



The two Skipper outfits sold.
Guess I'd better make some more!
In the meantime, I am listing two
dresses for Crissy & company,
modeled by Kerry.



I was a little shocked at how
short the pink dress came
out.  Also, I wanted to experiment
with the pattern, a bit. 
Kerry shows us my next attempt.

There were two areas that I wanted
to try "improving" on the pattern.
(Well, I also lengthened it, but that
is hardly an experiment, for me.)
I wanted to try lining the top of the
dress without slip stitching.
I did not get that right!
I did cut the dress in
one piece.  This results in the
back being on the diagonal,
so, if you try it, you have been
warned!  By pinning the
shoulder seam on the stitching
line, I eliminated the shoulder
seam altogether.
This required a larger
piece of fabric, but I
was unhappy with the big
shoulders of the Skipper
dress I had made, earlier.  I am
pleased with this result
and plan to try it with
smaller doll patterns.

Unfortunately, I did not
photograph the process.
Perhaps, next time.

Play Time

Started out to relist some dolls...

so, of course, I dressed one.

Then I took a picture.
(Plus I got hungry for lunch.)

Well, you can see what happened!
