Someone very kindly sent me a box of really good dolls, so I wanted to make something to send back as thanks. Of course, I wanted it to be die-cut patchwork, so I started digging through my scrap bin, looking for a relatively masculine assortment, with the idea being to make a jacket in Ken size.
And then I also found some other assortments of scraps to use for doll dresses, so I cut those into squares...and had so much fun cutting those squares that I decided to get into some of the bags of scraps I'd already sorted out, and cut those, too. And, as long as I was making scrap bag dresses, why not make a few more dresses from handkerchiefs? Ooh, and from some of the very distinctly vintage fabrics a different doll friend had sent...and some dresses made from the last bits of some cottons...and some dresses that just seemed like suitable ideas at the time...
And eventually ended up with these
and these!
The items in the top photo will be going to other people, eventually. The items in the lower photo are all mine, and many of the dolls modeling were sent in the package that inspired the whole project. Thanks thanks!
