I've been wanting to really get into sewing and I thought about making doll clothes as a good way to practice - but I was thinking much bigger than Barbie! Like Firle said, I bet the work can get really fussy because it's so small!!!

Very pretty!!! And wow....that had to have taken some time to do, such small details. The clothes are really neat as well. Fenyx started sewing when she was just a kid, making doll clothes, and she still does on occassion...but man, SHE can sew!! I bet you can too!!! --- Blessed Be, ~*~ Saijen ~*~ ~~*~~ .~~*~~ 3/13/2009, 7:40 pm Send Email to Saijen SilverWolf   Send PM to Saijen SilverWolf Yahoo Add a reply Link to us   -  Blogs   -  Hall of Honour   -  Chat You are not logged in (login)      Board's time is: 11/30/2009, 8:54 am
