UP Inspired Outfit

A new doll calls for new clothes!  

To make this cute outfit inspired by Disney's UP, I started with the t-shirt.  I used this pattern, and lengthened it about 3/4 of an inch at the hem.  Before sewing the pattern pieces together, I ironed on a picture of the UP house with balloons.  I found the image on Google images.


The shirt has great mix and match ability because of all the different colors of the house and balloons.

The leggings are upcycled from the sleeve of a child's shirt.  I cute it the length I thought it would need to be, and measured how long the legs should be.  I cut a line up the middle to make two pant legs (similar to how I would make a pair of doll tights from a sock) and stitched.  The waistband does not need elastic.  The hem has a cute decoration.


The two pieces:


I've been having fun trying out hairstyles on Beth's short hair.  Here are some bonus shots of her hairstyle:

Summer Outfit #1!

Since a lot of my sewing time goes to making fun stuff for my Etsy shop, my dolls haven't gotten many new clothes recently.  I decided that they each needed a new summer outfit of their own!  I had meant to do a photo shoot of my doll in her new outfit, but today I will explain how I made the items, and hopefully do a photo shoot later on :)




This outfit is made of completely upcycled fabric.  The shorts I cut from a black and white floral dress, with light and soft woven fabric.


The tank is made with the Pixie Faire pattern here.  I cut off about one inch from the bottom hem, and left the edge raw.  The saying I saw on Pinterest, and thought it would be fun on a shirt!



The matching bracelet is made of glass seed beads, elastic cord, and a crimp bead.
