Tinkerbell Tunic

The second look for the birthday girl's #JourneyGirl doll was an a-line tunic (made from an altered version of #AmericanGirlDoll Molly's slip pattern).

The tunic was made from fabric with #Tinkerbell printed on it.

The tunic was paired with black leggings.

Journey Girl Kayla's Jumper

So I thought I was going to be working on some new fall looks for #Hearts4Hearts Dell.  And then I got a 7th birthday party invitation. The birthday girl has a #JourneyGirl doll.

The first look was a black velvet jumper with a skirt made of three tiers of ruffles.

The look was paired with a #SpringfieldCollection t-shirt. 

As a special surprise, I ironed a cat applique on the t-shirt.

Hearts4Hearts Fall Look

I have begun patterning a look for #Hearts4Hearts Dell involving pants and a top. 

My niece (whose 9th birthday is just around the corner) told me that Dell needed pants and tops.  She had enough dresses.

Earlier in the year, I created shorts and some tops for the girls dolls.  Now that the weather is cooling down, I'm thinking pants and tops with longer sleeves.

The pants have a nice fit and then just a bit of a flare towards the bottom, so they are easy to put on. I'd call them bootcut.

The top is not completely figured out yet.  So far I've just got 3/4 length sleeves.  Still a few details to work out left.  I've considered switching out the longer sleeves for the short sleeves from some of my other looks, but I'm also considering a look with a curved yoke...

Watch for the pictures and see which way I decide to go.
