I have also been known to overtake the decoration of doll houses, the dressing of baby dolls, and the construction of block cities. And God forbid a child try to collaborate on MY paintings. Also, please don't forget to wash your brushes between colors because I hate when the paints get muddy.
So lately, I've been sewing doll clothes for Paige's dolls, nevermind that she'd be just as happy, if not happier, playing with naked babies. And, true to form, I've gotten just a wee bit obsessed with the task, often to the neglect of my actual parenting duties, like playing with the children and, er, feeding them.
But there are 4 "major" (i.e. well-played-with) dolls in the household and only one pair of doll pajamas. And only one party dress! How is one to have a proper dolly tea party if only one doll has appropriate attire? To remedy this situation, I've been working hard to expand the doll wardrobe with some vintage sewing patterns I bought on Etsy and Ebay (because who needs groceries?).
So even if my children are running around naked because I can't be bothered to dress them, by gum their dolls will be dandy.
See?



So freakin' cute! Make a life-size version of the blue-skirted dress for me! I'm so glad you're a bad mother and make these great clothes instead.

What fun! I remember getting into this once. I felt like I had released my inner child. I could not stop making cute little clothes.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, um, where did you get those patterns, exactly?
ReplyDeleteSome from Ebay and some really great ones from the Esty shop "Patterns and Crafts": http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5320384
