Yesterday evening I was getting ready to sew some more doll clothes, when I found a book I hadn't seen in a long time while looking for lace and velcro. I flipped through it, and found two patterns I really wanted to try. So a while later, after looking around for batting and felt, I made up a Stuffed Cat and Mouse. I'm thinking they're a bit big for my American Girls, but one never knows. . . Perhaps I'll get a picture of them with Serra when I take a picture of her in the sandals I repaired. Tonight maybe. Anyway, I didn't post them last night because I tried to do a doll shirt too, but it got to be too late to work on it thanks to supper and TV. I'm hoping to finish that tonight too.

You may not know it by looking at this picture, but the sandal on the right was almost entirely in pieces yesterday. All that was still stuck to the sole was one part of a strap and the insole. Using some Loctite super glue, I was able to fix it. So now Serra has a pair of sandals to go with her new dress! :D
I like how effective Loctite is, but I hate it when I get it on my fingers. Today marks the second time I nearly glued my fingers together! The packaging says that cooking oil is supposed to help get it off, but I tried using a little bit of olive oil, and that didn't work, so I tried vegetable oil, but that didn't work either... Sigh... I'll just have to wait until it decides to comes off on it's own. . . Enough of my trouble..

Or you can click on either of the two links in this post. So I'm trying to get back into crafting and sewing. I used to do a bit of beading, drawing, and thinking about sewing, but I've had a hard time getting back to it since we moved... Anyway, I'm going to try to do at least one crafty thing a day. Today's item is actually two items. Two different halter tops, and at least one can double as a skirt. :D As I craft/sew things I want to create a sort of online journal cataloging my progress with one page dedicated to whatever it is I do, plus a blog entry on my blog here.
When I set up the page for the tops yesterday, I didn't think about starting a blog to go along with it, which is why yesterday's post is being posted today. Anyhow, if you'd like to see more pictures of the tops, and/or read about how I made it, scroll up to the menu bar, hover over the Sewing & Craft Projects button, and click on 7-29-13 ~No sew halter tops.

As I craft/sew things I want to create a sort of online journal cataloging my progress with one page in the Sewing & Craft Projects directory dedicated to whatever it is I do, plus a blog entry on my blog here.
As of right now, my sewing skills are pretty much non-existent, so my creations probably won't be the best (plus I'm using old thread that my old sewing machine likes to spit up :( ), but I'm going to try anyway. I also want to eventually have a list of all of the dolls I've collected in the Meet the Girls directory. So far I have my LeeAnn, Ginger Brook Hollow, Magic Attic, and American Girl dolls posted. I still need to finish putting up pictures of my Carpatina Ana Ming, Battat, Gotz Kimberly, My Twinns, and then I need to finish putting up the descriptions for all of them. I also want to have a few more pictures and maybe some stories of some sort for my AGs and MACs (they are my favorites, and the ones I do the most with). Oops, I guess I got a little long winded. . . hehe. . . Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy reading and following along, should you choose too. Whether you do or not, I hope you enjoy looking around! Thanks for visiting! :D |
