lala tada!


hadley has collected a few lalaloopsy dolls - some gifted, some thrifted - and they all needed new clothes!

i drafted a simple a-line dress pattern, pulled out my stash of wool felt and we went to work. 


silver stars + metallic fringe


the first two were embellished with vintage star sequins and metallic fringe.

1/4" seams, snap closure and no hemming required [it's felt!].  


more glitter!


hadley created her own dress with fabric glue and glitter.

l o t s  of glitter.


two-tone + glitter


i cut out a few more and left them for hadley to design when she is feeling inspired.  



tada!


i love seeing what she comes up with - and she is so proud to see her doll dressed in her own work of art.

here is the template - happy dressmaking!
