Pattern Review: KDD Classy Yoke Coat

 I thought that the Keepers Dolly Duds pattern Classy Yoke Coat and Tam are just so beautiful. 

I was kind of intimidated to sew this. 

Luckily, it was much easier to sew than I anticipated!

The hat especially was easy to make. It uses 16 identical pattern pieces- 8 for the outside and 8 for the lining- and voila! you have a hat!

My Just Like You 44, Zia is my model here. She is beautiful!

I even did- gulp- real buttonholes, you could add hook and loop tape instead if you prefer.

I know I am going to be dressing my dolls in this coat every winter. I am very happy with it.

I might be on a not-very-secret mission to eventually sew all Keepers Dolly Duds patterns. I am so pleased to have tackled this pattern!

Halloween Clothes

 I swear I made these Halloween dresses in time for Halloween. I posted them on Instagram and forgot to put them on the blog!

I was inspired by someone else's sewing project to want to make some long sleeve Halloween dresses.

This fabric was the best doll scaled Halloween fabric that they had. I paid $2.50 for a half yard and made two dresses out of it. So much better than AG prices!

I used 123 Mulberry Street Baby Doll dress pattern yet again. It's so easy and it has long sleeves, that makes it tempting.

I think I may have made the skirts a little too long and I am tempted to shorten them.

I am also tempted to add a belt or something a jazz it up a bit.

I made the leggings out of a T-shirt and a Simplicity pattern.

So not my favorite project ever, but quick and satisfying.

Jess and Zia are still wearing these dresses. I need to change their clothes.

I made the tiny books too. They are The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch and Hocus Pocus and the All New Sequel. I do love tiny books.
