Not, as might be expected from my sewing history, a shirt for dolls, but instead a shirt with a doll(ish) print. It's a digital print based on Shelley Davies's Folk Art image, purchased from JoAnn.
I decided to use it for a button up shirt
a very busy button up shirt
This is a very simple project that took me ages to cut and assemble and I wasn't even sure if I liked it until I tried it on when it was finished and then suddenly it was fantastic.
I have cut out pieces for a sewing project. I have! But I keep getting distracted by sticking rhinestones to things.
First, it was replacing the missing rhinestones in the brooches from the previous post, as well as changing the dangles on the bows brooch.
I knew I didn't have black rhinestones to match those in the flower, but then the light hit them just right and I realized they're purple. I didn't have matching purple rhinestones, but I had roughly analogous purple rhinestones, so I went ahead and super glued those in place. As always, no-one's going to get close enough to see the irregularities.
I did, however, happen to have a perfect match aurora borealis rhinestone to replace the one missing from the bows brooch. I also have a small stash of vintage AB beads, so I chose one to hang from the center, with swagged chains on the outside. I'm much happier with this than the original design.
But then
I kept playing with the rhinestones and larger acrylic craft gems and had some fun.
