I made another dress while Rose Bowl was on. I used Josefina's camisa pattern for the bodice, the skirt pattern for the skirt, and then added a waist band.
Scott's sister, Karine helped me fix a few sizing mistakes I made. Thank goodness for experienced seamstresses.
Asha says she "super-duper LOVES it".

It's darling! I love the print you chose. It fits the look of the doll really well. Did you sew the dress flat this time?
So cute and bravo to you for doing it! My girls got Felicity and Elizabeth this year and we'll see if I even attempt on making dresses.
Allison,
Yes I did. I set the sleeves in before I finished the side seams. It was so much easier.
Kiersten,
Tell me what your blog is again.
The dress turned out darling. I love the fabric.
I wish I was up for sewing - I'm still cleaning up Christmas.
I also wish I had an 18" doll to sew for. I showed one to Maryanna and said "don't you want one of these cute dollies"? she said "no, I don't want my babies to grow up.... I want them to stay baby dolls"
What kind of placket are you doing? velcro? It turned out beautiful! save your notes because hopefully Maryanna will change her mind
Alison,
I cut the velcro I had on hand in half, lengthwise. It is about a quarter inch in width.
Asha was not interested in the doll until this year. Ruthie is nine in the book, and Asha is seven, so it makes sense. I am glad I waited until Asha was old enough to read the stories that go with the historic dolls. They are well written, enlightening, and make the dolls worth having.
お裁縫始めだね。私はまりえちゃんに教えてもらったアフガンを編み始めてます。（小さいバージョンだけど）お楽しみに。
カローラちゃん
始めたのね。楽しみに。
私も最近あまりにも寒いから編み物したくなって
編み棒を探すところまではいったんだけど
そこから進んでないのよね．．．。
I admire so much that you are able to sew small little doll clothes. That must be so challenging.
Marie - You are so inspirational. What a darling dress, and thanks for the tip on where to find old patterns!
You are amazing! Lindsey and I are excited to download the Kirsten patterns and try it out! The American Girl dolls and books are so wonderful. Thanks for the website...it is exactly what we need!!
oh my gosh! Is there anything you can't do! It is beautiful!
