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!

New warm toggery

   I'm glad to notify that my cousin Natalia has a new warm knitted cape made by me and my grandma. We created the gray one just by watching the pink cape (our inspiration)- no patterns, no instructions. We did something like copy paste in gray color. The buttons are made completely by yarn, reserved brand to my grandma. I will show you how to do it in some of my next tutorials. The result is successful! Natalia liked it too! ツ

I used Cabled rib pattern and simple Four stitch cable. Buttons are made by yarn.
