Pattern Review: Sofie Clareese Perfectly Pleasant Sundress

Last week, I wrote about the Sofie Clareese Perfectly Pleasant Sundress.

Well, I had an unexpected three day weekend, so I bought the pattern and made five dresses from it.

The pattern is in two sizes: 18 inch and 14 inch.

I bought the 14 inch one, because I have many more 18 inch patterns.

This is a great pattern. It is easy to make and it is so versatile.

This is the first dress I made! I am tired of looking at Emerson's meet, especially the very shiny skirt.

I wanted to make a pink dress to match her boots, but I added a green bodice to tone down the pinkness.

Result: cuteness!

Next I made a purple dress.

I feel like I could have gotten a better picture. As my friend pointed out, the configuration of the skirt looks almost like pants. I can assure you that this is entirely sue to awkward picture taking, but I didn't have time to redo it.

I would like to point out that this pattern fits both Wellie Wishers and Hearts for Hearts dolls perfectly.

The doll in this picture is Hearts for Hearts doll Nahji.

The Heart for Hearts dolls look so much skinnier, it's great that the pattern can fit both dolls.

I love this pattern!

I am going to write another blog post to share the next three dresses I made. Stay tuned!

Hearts for Hearts dolls in the Snow

A selection of my Hearts for Hearts dolls got to go out in the snow!

They were nice and warm in their hoodies made from a pattern by Requiem Art Designs.

Nahji looks cute in her elephant hoodie.

Tipi looks cute in a panda hoodie!

Mosi looks cute in a fox hoodie!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I hope that you have a frightfully good one!

I didn't get costumes made for all the dolls for Halloween. Nor did I expect to.

But I am proud that SOME of them have costumes made in time!

The American Girl dolls

The Hearts for Hearts Dolls

All the dolls!

Hoodies Galore!

Here is a group picture of my Hearts for Hearts dolls wearing the hoodies I have made so far from the Requiem Art Designs hoodie pattern.

Aren't they cute?

There are so many cute possibilities to make with this pattern!

Elephant Hoodie

This hoodie is made, again, from the Requiem Art Designs 14 inch hoodie pattern.

It is supposed to be an elephant. The pattern did not include a pattern for elephant ears, so I drew one myself.

Nahji from Hearts for Hearts dolls is modelling the hoodie.

It kind of looks like an elephant, and it also kind of looks like a mouse.

If I meant to make a mouse hoodie, I would have put the ears higher up on the head.

It's still really cute!

And it is getting cold where I live, so it makes me feel better that the dolls have something warm to wear.

I also like that they have something to wear besides their meet outfits.

They look much happier now.

On the Beach

We had some unseasonably ice weather, so Tipi and Nahji went to the beach!

Enjoy it while it lasts, girls!

It's so much easier to carry the Hearts for Hearts dolls around for a photoshoot! I worry less about them and they are that much smaller.

And no, I haven't been travelling- both the snow and the beach pictures were taken in the same geographical area, literally a week apart. The weather has lost its mind!

Hearts for Hearts Dolls Return!

Hopefully you have noticed if you are interested that the Hearts for Hearts dolls are back!

They were discontinued for a while, but now they are being made by a new company.

Consuelo, Nahji, Shola and Tipi
