I did sort of wonder where we lost you to Anna.

 

That Real Life thingy has a nasty habit of happening without our permission

[CrazeeMoi]

oh ok........i am sorta in this I guess lol anyway, the other day I crocheted a little sweater ( from a preemie pattern) for my grandsons teddy bear. Since the overall pattern is for a 12 inch doll...... might work for the teddy bear. I dont have grand daughters, so no girly stuff to make right now. Will try to take pics of his Teddy with his new clothes.....wont get him till next Sunday since the weather is so bad here now.

Darski...you've gotta know that you are forcing me to go buy a Dora doll now!! Here little Sunday go to meeting dress is precious. I love the hat! And purse. Well..I love the whole thing. Nice details.

[darski]

Thank you.

I am working on the patterns but I got into making the snowsuit ensemble and that was my yesterday done for.

 

Really soon, I promise

[Empress Busy Bee]

Popping in here to say how much I love your Dora outfits Darski! Great job. I've put off for a year on making them because of other things but I seen now I just might have to find the time to do some.

[Leslie]

I love those ador-able Dora clothes !! I think I will head out to walmart and see what I can find.I have neighbor who is 4 years old, who will just love these outfits.Can't wait for the patterns! Leslie

[lhasaapsolady]

Darski, your Dora outfits are great, my little Zuzu would love them for her Dora.

I didn't even see this group until tonight. I've started work on a Cotillion dress for my DD's Barbie.

 

I've finished the bodice and am presently working on the skirt. It's red with cream trim. I'll post some pics. when I figure out how.

 

So glad to see this group. Now to keep up with every one.

[darski]

Michelle, I just saw a pattern for a cotillion dress. they are amazing. Hats off to you for getting that on the go.

[misteph]

We have several inches of snow this morning and the kiddos are in and out. Looks like we have a few more flakes falling.

 

I want to work on the dress today, but we'll see. I seem to be mopping up melting snow and making hot cocoa. Don't get snow like this in AZ that often, so we are trying to enjoy it for as long as we can.

 

I have the set of Anti-Bellum patterns. My older DD picked out June. I have all the threads needed for that one. Just have to finish one before I start another.

Keep going Michelle - unfortunately I have had lots of experience of snow

 

I posted the Dress for February in the Original Patterns forum here:

 

http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?p=609904#post609904

 

it includes directions for making two styles of shoes.

[misteph]

That is so great! What size is the Dora doll? I'm wondering if it would fit my DD's 15 inch dolls. HMMMM

 

I had to modify the Cotillion dress to fit a rather busty Barbie. She's my DD's oldest Barbie and she has been through the ringer. Most newer Barbie clothes don't fit her, so I'm making her a dress that is wider and longer than the pattern calls for.

 

I'm working on the skirt now. 9 rounds of 280 triple stitches left. It kind of makes me dizzy. LOL

[darski]

She is 15 inches tall but a good bit of that is used for head.

My patterns tend to be ways to make stuff rather than"follow me" patterns. you might get an idea of how to make your own stuff.

[Empress Busy Bee]

What size is the Dora doll? I'm wondering if it would fit my DD's 15 inch dolls.

Keep in mind that Dora is shaped really different than most dolls so they may or may not fit. If you can modify, you might be able to adjust to fit to your dolls.

[Leslie]

Dora outfits are so cute!I hope I can figure out how to make doll patterns-but it will help to have the doll to model the clothes.I will look around and see if I can find one second hand.Darski,thankyou again for the cute patterns!

I posted the instructions for this outfit

Well, I just have to try the Sunday go to Meeting dress! But it will have to wait a week or two. Too much on the plate at the moment.

 

I'm taking a crochet day, as my elbow is a bit sore this morning. Too much thread crochet yesterday. Only 6 more rounds to go on the dress.

 

I think I'll embroider or cross stitch today. This is one of the reasons I'm glad I have other crafts. The down side is I want to crochet,knit,cross stitch,embroider,etc. all the time and God only gave me two arms! LOL

Oooh, oooh, oooh!! I just found this thread...been laid up for over a week now Is it too late to join this CAL? I'm working on making up a pair of Gnome dolls (I have this thing about gnomes ) and I sure could use the motivation after not designing anything except the quilts for 4 years Contrary to what you might think, I actually like making toys best of all! Mama always said I musta been an elf in a former life

 

Oh Darski I *love* your Dora outfits!! They're just too precious!

 

My hat's off to all you gals that try those Paradise Barbie dresses. They're gorgeous! I tried one once and just frustrated the heck out of myself so I frogged it and made a doily

 

Hope I'm not too late. This would be my first CAL

[darski]

Cara, aboard. This is definitely the place for you to be. I love all your grannies. they are just so cute.

 

I used to have a thing about Garden gnomes in "The Sims" had to have every one ever known on the Web.

 

Can't wait to see what you make.
