Dorrie's Doll Diaries
Monday, 5 November 2007
Fall afternoon...with wind.
Now Playing: traffic and lawn mower sounds

 

Current Mood : Wondering 

Is anyone else having a hard time believing it's November already ? Seems like just yesterday I was waiting for the '07 Toy Fair images, back in February.

 

Well, one thing hasn't changed. I neglected the housework - again ! - and sewed ! Since I had half of Simplicity 6097, View 4 printed when I ran View 7, I went ahead and sewed it. I now have all but one part of View 3 printed (sweatsuit, with hood), so that's probably next. This material, also from the weekend-before's yard sales, is thicker than the usual cottons, and you know the rule - > heavier/busier the fabric, simpler the design has to be. And this one is *really* simple. No darts, no tucks, just front, back, sleeves. As you can see, I still need help stitching necklines, although the invisible presser foot on the sewing machine helps. Bonus - ‘Erin' modeling is a Happy Family Midge. She could probably wear this dress with the pregnant belly, too !

 

Other than that, not much going on today. Lightning Molly, my car, was having some minor issues, and Beloved Hubby asked that I stay home until he got home to check them out. He's home, she's fine, but it means I didn't get to do the grocery shopping - and check for any new doll developments. Well, that's what tomorrow's for !

 

When there's time. I gotta do the groceries, recycling, and other minor errands tomorrow. So if there's some unused time tonight, I may just cut out View 3. It's been a while since I made female doll pants !
