too long!
The bodices fit nicely, but the skirts were a little too long…

Opal helps
…so Opal helped Agathe hem her dress…

Agathe helps
…and Agathe helped Opal…

Hungry work!
…and then they both celebrated by wearing their new frocks while slurping a seasonal treat!

The great thing with sewing doll clothes is scraps go such a long way!
Yes, It is so true…and then there are more scraps!
Lovely, seasonal dresses! You ScrapHappy ladies always produce lovely things.
This brought back memories of standing on a stool for what seemed like an age, having my mother and grandmother arguing over they suitable length for a party dress I thought too frilly for a party I didn’t want to attend! I never was a party lover, except for dolls’ tea parties, of course!
I remember that too, almost exactly… standing on a chair and their mouths bristling with pins while they discussed where to stick them!! My Hittys have the kind of party I like – small and quiet!
Ah Kjerstin, for me, this is another glorious session of Scrap Happy 15th Day of the Month with you and some of the QHs. Your use of that gifted fabric has turned out such charming little dresses for the block twins, Agathe and Opal. The seasonal treat at the end is a luscious looking way to help celebrate this time of year. Becky J
The twins especially like the busy print – they say that little spills, crumbs, jam, and other “whoopsies” don’t show at all!
the girls are a great help and look lovely in their new dresses. I recognize the little tree on the wall – from last year. Yummy looking treat.
a very very nice lady from our local insurance office gave that to me when I admired her little tree-full. She had made them herself!
Wonderful Christmas outfits, I feel a tiny twinge of envy!
The twins get twinges of the nibblies when they put on these dresses!
😂
I too was reminded of having hems pinned up as a child! Those dresses are very cute.
Thanks! The block twins are enjoying them!
what delightful fabric. Love seeing the girls hard at work sewing! I need them to help me with my sewing!!! love the new dresses and those delightful twins.
They are delightful! I am glad they bounced into my notice, pointing out the delight of this fabric and the chill of their summer frocks…I can take a hint!
Love your dolls and their dresses!
Thanks! Opal and Agathe also had a tiny bit of dolly surgery (having their elastics replaced) so they should be out and about a bit more now!
