Boho Blouse for Julie or . . .

Tags

70's, All Dolled Up on Craftsy, American Girl, blouse, Boho, Entredeux Lace, Journey Girl, Julie, Top

. . . any other fun-loving doll you happen to own.  I think you’ll agree that this adorable Boho Blouse would be a perfect topper for any jeans, shorts, capris or skirt your doll owns.  Hard to believe I’d never posted this, as it’s definitely one of my absolute FAV’s from All Dolled Up Doll Clothes on Craftsy.

I pattern tested this blouse and my friend liked it, so I made one for her Journey Girl.  Using the same fabric, but a different Entredeux lace which was a bit wider, I added a wider ribbon.  It turned out cute and all I needed for perfect fit on her slimmer 18-inch doll was to overlap the front a bit more — sooo easy.  Since this is quick to sew, it’s even more fun, and I will be sewing it again!

Amazing Sale @ All Dolled Up!!!

Tags

All Dolled Up on Craftsy

Obviously, #1: this sale was long ago & #2: Terrie retired, so her original website no longer exists, but if you’re wanting to check out her amazing patterns, go here.

I’ve done pattern testing for Terrie and her patterns are fabulous.  If you look @ past posts here you’ll see just a few of her creations I’ve sewn. Enjoy the sale!

Tenney’s Two Tone Pocket Tee

18-inch, All Dolled Up on Craftsy, American Girl, Craftsy, Tee, Tenney

Tenney is relaxing today in her Two Tone Pocket Tee sewn from the pattern by All Dolled Up Doll Clothes on Craftsy. Don’t let her reasonable prices fool you, as her patterns are fabulous! :’)

This pattern was in my stash, so I just had to sew it to share.  If you look at my previous posts, you’ll see I’m a big fan of Terrie’s awesome patterns and this one is no exception — between the fabrics you can pair up to that sweet little pocket on the front and the heart-shaped elbow patches on the sleeves, it’s totally fun.

AG Nanea’s Picture Day Dress

Tags

40's, All Dolled Up on Craftsy, American Girl, Nanea, Princess-seamed Dress, School Dress

Nanea is here and she’s all ready for Picture Day @ school shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and picture-perfect she’ll be in this princess-seamed dress created by the talented Terrie, which is available @ All Dolled Up Doll Clothes on Craftsy.

Nanea’s Picture Day dress

As she says on her pattern, “styles come back around every 30 years or so but this one never seems to have left”.   I’m so glad it hasn’t – just such a classic and beautiful style!  It features princess seams down the front and back, plus you can choose to add optional waist ties.  A Peter Pan collar is the final touch to this 40’s-style dress!

Hot August: 18″ Doll Romper

Tags

18-inch, All Dolled Up on Craftsy, Craftsy, Grace, Kit, romper

A fitting name for a sweet doll romper, especially here in hot, sunny Arizona as we yearn for Fall — that’s Hot August — another amazing pattern from All Dolled Up Doll Clothes.

“Hot August” Romper sewn with cotton fabric

“Hot August” Romper sewn w/knit fabric

This off-the-shoulder romper was actually requested by a customer of Terrie’s when she posted on FB needing motivation and asked what patterns customers would like.  It features pockets (if you wish to add them) and a peasant-style neckline in your choice of either a ruffle with wide or narrow trim or sleeves.  Cottons or knits will work for this one as shown in my photos.  Since it slips on easily due to the neck and waist elastic, no buttons or Velcro are needed to finish it.

That’s always a bonus to me as it’s quick to sew! 😉  Please share your thoughts w/me in a comment on this post.

Jewell

18-inch, All Dolled Up on Craftsy, American Girl, Bloomers, Grace, Jewell, Underthings

I’ve done quite a bit of pattern testing recently, hence my absence here. I wanted to share two sweet new patterns by All Dolled Up Doll Clothes and available on Craftsy.  Terrie is an amazing designer and her pattern prices are quite reasonable in my honest opinion!

 

 

Jewell, the overdress/jumper pattern, is simply stunning with the clever mid-length skirt designed to show off the details you add to your slip. Underthings, the sumptuous slip pattern, includes the bloomers and can be enhanced to your heart’s content with lace/eyelet trims as well as gorgeous heirloom stitching.  Terrie includes directions for using a wing needle to add your own machine’s heirloom stitches, so you receive a sewing lesson right along with your pattern! 😉

Country Girl

Tags

All Dolled Up on Craftsy, country, Dress, Lea, petticoat, square dancing, Tenney

Occasionally I do pattern testing and this is one that I really enjoyed having the opportunity to test, especially since I’d just brought Tenney home:

Country Girl is available @ All Dolled Up Doll Clothes on Craftsy and includes both the dress and petticoat.  Terrie has a great selection of patterns for both 18″ and 14.5″ dolls, so just click on the category that interests you.  Be sure to check out her Boy Cut Jeans or Button Up Shirt patterns while you’re there. The jeans are on my soon-to-sew list for Logan, as is Show Time for Tenney and the shirt pattern works for both! 😉

I chose a 3.5-oz. Jacquard denim fabric, but can picture this in so many different gorgeous fabrics with it’s sweetheart neckline, gathered sleeves and one of my favorite things – it’s low scooped back:

You can also add more embellishments to your petticoat or keep it simple like mine. It’s easy/quick to sew, but adds so much under the full skirt of this sweet country dress. Whether your doll is the newest singing sensation or just dancing to the latest country hit, she’ll definitely have the perfect dress for the occasion!

Good Golly, Miss Mollie!

Miss Mollie, 1950’s style tie-front shirt and Capri patterns (both from All Dolled Up Doll Clothes and now available on Craftsy) were must-haves for Maryellen, who kindly let Kit model for her today!

Love the squared-off pockets and side hem vents, with easily-explained directions in the pattern!

Let’s Go to the Hop

18-inch, 50's, All Dolled Up on Craftsy, American Girl, Let's Go to the Hop, Maryellen

All Dolled Up is an awesome site offering reasonably-priced patterns, often cleverly named as my title indicates for our 18-inch doll friends and the new 14.5-inch Wellie Wishers that AG recently added to their line-up. Terrie frequently adds new patterns and her 60’s Ruffled pattern includes the best tutorial on using your Rolled Hem Foot I’ve ever tried. Finally, my narrow hems are perfect!

After I’d purchased Maryellen, I just had to add this ‘nifty-50’s pattern to my collection and sew it up immediately so she could dance the night away @ the hop!  If you don’t already have a 50’s petticoat, Terrie has a free pattern for this essential piece.

NOTE:  Terrie recently retired, but most of her beautiful patterns are for sale on Craftsy.  If you don’t see a pattern mentioned here on Craftsy, go to her FB page and send her a message and she’ll get the pattern to you by email! ;’)

Let’s Go to the Hop – don’t you just love that neckline?!
