Do you have a go to scrap busting project? For me it’s doll
clothes. Every month I participate in Karen Mom of Three’s doll clothes sew
along. Each month she links to a different
free doll clothes pattern and then posts pictures of everyone’s completed work
on her Facebook page.
In May we made a reversible wrap skirt with a Velcro
closure. Another sewalonger used a button in place of the Velcro, a great
option for people who don’t keep Velcro on hand. It was so quick and easy to
make, I have no idea why I put it off until the end of the month.
I threw together this bonus tank top at the last minute as
well. It’s made with a free Liberty Jane pattern and a tank top that my girls had outgrown years ago. I cut out of a
size 4/5 and had just enough fabric, so anything smaller probably wouldn't
work.
Doll clothes sewing is picking up in my house this summer.
My youngest daughter just got a new doll
for her 7th birthday, bringing our total up to 4 dolls; one American Girl Doll
and 3 Madame Alexander Dolls. Then in September my older daughter will be making
a trip to the American Girl Store, so we may expand our collection again.
I have two matching girl and doll projects coming up. One of
the projects will be skinny jeans using this matching girl and doll pattern.
The second will be skirts. I’ll give you more details later in the month.
In the meantime tell me about your favorite scrap busting
project.
