Doll Jeans


I've been stitching up doll jeans for Raven, Katie's doll. Making doll clothes is the perfect way to teach kids how to follow a pattern and sew. Katie and I are getting the hand for sewing for the 18 inch set. The pattern we had for pants was a bit boring, so we flared the bottoms and added a side seam and fly in front. Now they look like real jeans, so we've made a few pairs of them. Katie, age 8, has just enough patience to make these, especially since the embellishment breaks up the sewing. It's a fun afternoon project.

You are ambitious and so very talented. I see it runs in the family too!

Hmmm this reminds me, I have a really cute American Girl tote bag pattern I need to dig out....
