Our Generation Outfits - 2

Happy Thanksgiving!

I was scrolling through Our Generation products on Target.com again, so I thought I'd post a few outfits that I think are cute and have mix and match potential! All the prices and pictures are from the Target.com website.

This first outfit is called Gotta Bowl and it is $16.99. The jeggings would be cute with any outfit, as they are very versatile, along with the pink spaghetti strap tank. The other outfit pieces also have great mix n match ability.

This is the Pink Fur Coat Outfit and it is $17.99. The skirt would look great with or without the tights. I would also try white tights under the pink skirt. I think each piece in this outfit is very cute!

This is the Bust a Move Outfit and it is $12.99. I think the shoes may be plastic. The leggings look versatile, as does the top, which is perfect for a dancer!

 

 

 The Floral Fluffy Coat outfit is $17.99. The coat with it's delicate floral pattern is adorable! It would be a perfect coat to slip on and go out on a cold weather day. The purple tunic top would be cute in summer with a light weight scarf.

 

That's all for today! Thanks for reading!

Some 'Our Generation' Clothing for Inspiration

Today I went on Target.com to take a look at the Our Generation sets, for inspiration of things to sew or make.  It seems like the Our Generation line has a lot of variety in the kind of things they offer, but a lot of the items online say "In store only".  The Targets that I have been to don't appear to have a lot of variety in the selection of OG items.  Nevertheless, I saw some fun stuff!

The 'Snow Bright' outfit is $17.99 on the website.  The Aztec print coat looks very cozy for cold days, and could also be worn with jeans or leggings.  Warm ups are essential for a doll that loves to play in the snow.  They are the best way to stay warm!

This 'Plaid Skirt' outfit is $12.99.  Each piece looks very versatile.  This outfit would be so cute for a Holiday event!

This is the 'Puttin on the Glitz' outfit, which is $17.99.  This dress is so sparkly and would be great for a party.  The ruffle at the hemline is so cute.  I'm not sure if I personally would pair it with the pink tights, but that's just preference.  The hair bows would be great mix n match accessory items.  I think this color would look great on Beth!

This outfit, called 'Fluffy Sweater Outfit', is $12.99.  It is one of my favorites that I saw.  It is so versatile!  Rather than tights like the two outfits above, it has leggings.  The shorts would be great for summer with a light blue, white or pink matching top.

The 'PJs with Penguin' outfit looks so cozy.  It is also $12.99.  These are adorable winter pajamas!

 

There were more cute sets, but I'll limit this post to five :) Thanks for reading!

Boy Swim Shorts and Flip Flops

I sewed these upcycled shorts some time ago, but couldn't decided if I would put them in my Etsy shop or not.  I think I will keep them for my OG boy, and show them to you here!

 

For the base of this design, I used the basic shorts/pants pattern from Pixie Faire.  I made many additions to the pattern to make it look like swim shorts.

As I was changing the pattern and adding stripes of white to the sides and cuff, I transferred the measurements to paper to reuse if I ever want to make another pair.

Bonus Picture!

The pockets on the side are real and can open.  I meant to add Velcro to the flaps but forgot! 

When I was dressing the boy doll for these photos, I realized he didn't have any good shoes for the beach.  So I made him flip flops!  They are made of black craft foam and hot glue.  I cut the soles using a sole pattern that was part of a pattern on Pixie Faire.

Freckles!

I noticed on other blogs and YouTube channels that people had been able to give their dolls removable freckles.  I just love freckles look on dolls, so I decided to try my hand at freckling!

I looked up a number of different ways to do it.  Most used washable markers or washable watercolors.  I used the latter.  This video from AGsmiless uses a toothpick  for the application of the paint (which I imagine would be better for the doll's vinyl), but I couldn't find one, so just gently used the end of a paperclip.  Afterwards, I dabbed the paint with my finger to make the freckles look more natural.

Before...

After!

I really like the way they turned out, with some larger and darker while others are lighter and smaller.

Although it may appear in the picture that there is sections with no freckles, it's just because they are very light and didn't make it into the photo.

I also put a freckle below his left knee (the right one in the picture).

Playing Settlers of Catan

My dolls got some comfy Saturday clothes on to play a game of Settlers of Catan together!
