Doll clothes

   Sewing clothes for a doll can be both fun and rewarding! I decided to make skirt and jeans using my old leg trousers. Natalia's baby doll has new winter warm clothing! Also I used a cabled stitch capelet & fingerless-mitts pattern for dolls by Debonair designs. The Beret is my idea. CLICK to see Naty and her doll!
