    Sue, such cute sweaters and bags. And the baseball outfit is too cute! You make such darling things. And Sew extreme seams, what a great tip to use socks to make socks! I'll have to try that soon. I bought myself a doll this spring to have a model for the clothes I make for my DGD's doll we gave her last Christmas.

    Went to my daughter's house and played with henry, my dgd lala, and her two dolls Kate and Emily. They had tea while lala and i had lunch. Then lala showed the dolls how to play wii sports. She is whole body into it! Lol, i did about three turns on the bowling and took pity on my back. We went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant and henry and his new friend Kate came with us, and had their own chair. Very fun!

    LOL

    I had it nearly dne and decided there was too much thread and time into it to make it worth while so I took it all out..If it were for a grand child it would have been ok but if I wanted to make several it wouldn't have worked out..

    Thanks for posting, Jamie! I have to confess, i didn't make the bunny slippers, i bought them. But I do have a pair i did make that is very similar. I started making these doll clothes about 20 years ago when my little girl was 5. She's now 26!
