Bonding With My Bernina & Sewing For The American Girl Doll

 Thank you Derby for the kind introduction.

Your bribe treats are waiting in the kitchen.

As you know Wilson spent a week out in AZ visiting his son.
While he was away I had a lovely bonding session with my
Bernina B380 sewing machine.

 Yikes Julep ... that's the vintage Scottie dress

you're tossing around like it's your toy.

 I guess Julep just wanted to be in the pictures

since a majority of the clothing will be donated

to the Westie Foundation of America for auction.

 Night-Night Nightgown

 Spring Flowers Suit & Top

 Hello Kitty Sundress

 Pink & White Daisy Party Dress

 Summer White Party Dress

 Summer Party Dress & Matching Hobo Bag

 Julep likes the little hobo bags I started to make. 

I usually have just enough fabric leftover to squeeze

one out to match an outfit.  They take me only a few

minutes to sew together.

 Magnolia & White Ruffles Party Dress

Now I Know My A B C's Dress 

Kaitlyn {our grand daughter in California}

is starting kindergarten in the fall - this 

dress is for her American Girl doll.

 Circus Party Dress

 Dots Summer Dress

Sea to Shining Sea Frog Dress 

 Cherries Jacket & Hobo Bag

 Peace Symbol Sun Dress

... THE END ...

I still haven't move all the completed clothing into the

other larger bedroom dresser ... so they just keep mounding up.

I really need to go spend the time and go through the stacks

to decide which ones should go with McKenna to auction.

Then I can passed some over to my sister [who is currently sewing

for 9 little girls]. I should also keep a several to use as examples for 

the fall YMCA class [that was my idea] called Designing Doll Clothes

[ages 8 to 11].  This is a good introduction class to teach basic

sewing skills.  It will be interesting to see how many 

actually sign up for this two part class in November.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING

HAVE A GREAT DAY
