CONTEST! (for Grandmas)

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about cleaning out all the toys and clothes from the kids’ room.  They have grown up and there was no use hanging onto that stuff any longer.  My niece did come and pick it all up and was happy to get it for her three little ones.

But in my closet, pushed into a corner and forgotten,  I found three doll dresses that I had sewn for the girls’ 18” dolls.  These dresses fit the American Girl type dolls.  I simply forgot to give them out and now  I have no one to give them to.  I am not the world’s greatest seamstress, in fact I’m not very good at all, but I enjoyed making these and other 18” doll dresses.  If you have a granddaughter, niece, great-granddaughter, or whatever, and you would like to have one of these little dresses, just make a comment to that effect.  I will draw names for the three dresses and mail them off to the three lucky (?) winners!!  If you have a preference for a certain dress, and I draw your name first, that is the dress you will get, so let me know.  The doll is my model and is not included.




























The trims I used were just what I had in my sewing stuff so they are not always an exact match but they look okay for a doll dress.   The dresses are made from scraps, remnants, or fat quarters!  I’m a little embarrassed as I know there are some REAL seamstresses out there and I am NOT one of them!  I just have fun making doll clothes.

In case anyone is wondering, yes, I did look into putting these on Etsy but there were TONS of people already selling 18” doll clothes, and most were better than mine.   When you consider the hours invested, there is no way to make this a business and I wouldn’t want to anyway.  I would rather give them to someone who would enjoy having them than trying to sell them.

So let me know if you are interested and if I get more than three comments, I will draw names and post the winning names here tomorrow.  We can make delivery arrangements by private email.  Thanks and good luck.
