I am on a roll sewing dance skirts, gym togs, leotards and tights!




Today I made this midnight blue outfit with sparkles on the front.

Introducing Little Miss # 40


I  AM  IN  LOVE





Look who showed up at my house today . . . a little stranger with no name. She is American Girl doll # 40. I am so happy Kit is no longer an only child!

So today will be her birthday, September 26, 2013. And I am going to call her Harper.

Liberty Jane Clothing Gymnastic Outfit

She'll Receive Lots of Compliments at the Gym!









 I love this sylish practice outfit!



Jewell Star Doll Clothes version of Liberty Jane!



Plenty of shine and fits like a glove!

Here is my first gymnastic offering, and I think it's very cute. Made of silver lycra and purple micro-fleece it is just begging me for a matching warm-up suit.

The Liberty Jane pattern was a snap to work with, although I did make one change in the pattern. Here is a tip - I added elastic to the waistband. My test piece made according to the instructions just didn't fit perfectly. The waist seemed a little low on the bum and loose, not too smooth. So I added a quarter inch to the top of the shorts pattern, made a casing for 1/4" elastic and sewed. I got the fit I wanted and now I am a happy camper!




Kit is having a fitting for her next gymnastics outfit. Here she is with her hair messed up on my equally messy sewing table. I don't think I combed my hair either. Her shorts are finished and she is waiting for me to quit fooling around on the internet and do something.

Have a wonderful day!

Meg and Kit
