Ariel Wishes for Spring

When my niece saw the #Ellie'sStyle Amalie dress for #AmericanGirl, she told me her dolls needed one too. So I began to re-pattern the look for the #DisneyToddler dolls.

For Ariel, I used a half of a fat quarter in colors that coordinated with her shoes.  Like the other sizes of the Amalie Dress, this one also features an empire waist bodice with stitched down middle opening to pleats.

Maya's Circle Skirt Overalls

I recently tested the Circle Skirt Overalls pattern for #AGirlForAllTime by #Forever18Inches on #PixieFaire.

I was excited about this pattern as I have not had the opportunity to do a lot of sewing for my #AGirlForAllTime Maya doll since I got her last year and the fit is typically on target for patterns from #Forever18Inches.

This pattern was no exception.  Using Maya's original shirt as my style inspiration, I chose to use a chambray fabric from an old shirt that was no longer wearable due to fading in the front. And I was able to cut the entire pattern out from the back of the shirt.

I found this to be easy to put together despite the small details including a working pocket on the front.
