Dolls from my childhood upgraded clothing.
I picked up my crochet hook again this past 2 weeks. When Cliff went into surgery I needed small projects to work on while in the hospital with him.
I have over 80 StoryBook dolls and some two dozen were undressed.
This is a dress I made some years ago. I found the pattern online this past week
I also found online several sites for crocheting flowers and thought to have a set of "Flower Girls" These dolls will all have a flower in or on her hat. The flower on this gal is from http://www.youtube.com/user/Sheruknittingcom?feature=watch
This outfit is a one-piece dress. I crocheted the pantalettes then the blouse and added the skirt last.
The hat is a simple cap like the ladies wore in the 40s.
As you can see I have loads of thread from the 70s and 80s that I found in the attic while cleaning up there. This doll has a dress made with Pineapple stitches. Her hat is of an open design made with the shell st and has a yellow flower on it. This flower was at the above link as well. I signed up to her blog to get the flower patterns in order as she posted them.
This is an older dress as well with a new flower on her head.
A cluster of 3 flowers make up this gals hat. The dress is made with white #10 crochet thread with a strand of red sewing thread added to it as I crocheted it. The pattern is one of my own.
This doll is waring a very complex dress and hat without a flower on it. I felt the flower would be overkill on this doll.
These combinations are under the dress on the above doll.
Here I have made the Gibson dress for this doll with a few small modifications. I added a black belt rather than a ribbon and her panties are part of the skirt.
Here you can see how I make pantalettes.
This doll is in a dress made in the 50s that had a top that was soiled beyond cleaning so I remade it with a new blouse and petticoat. The flower is just laid on her head.
Here we have a dress made in the 60s or 70s .
Here you see some of the thread I had in the attic made into a layered dress and flower hat. Again this is a one piece outfit. pantalettes under it all.
The variegated thread on this doll is some I found at Walmart. It has a nice feel to it while crocheting.
I tried my hand at short skirts here.
