Darling outfits and quilt. I'm making a doll quilt now, and sure had fun with the clothing I made. Last request was for socks and leggings for AG doll, tried, but they were too hard to get on, and then the shoes wouldn't go over. Any suggestions for that?

My GD got a custom made dollhouse for Christmas. I made her a quilt for it. Her birthday is coming up and she is getting new doll furniture.

As for the socks and leggings for the AG dolll, get some of the cotton knit like you use for cuffs on a sweatshirt. If you pin it slightly snug, to fit the foot and leg and then just zig-zag a small seam, it will fit the foot and stretch . For doll socks, I sometimes stitch a narrow piece of lace along the top, and stretch it as I stitch it, and when the sock top is folded down, it sort of gathers the lace like a ruffle.
