the creative doll january 2025 skip to main skip to sidebar friday january 17 2025 happy new year and already off to a late start january 16 2025 dear friends can you believe it is january and i am already behind found myself a bit over committed with projects i thought i would be done early december then mid december then by new years you see how this is going and it appears i could be this irregular on posting this year but i am trying not to be may i say i am grateful i do not do new year s resolutions my beginning would not bode well what i do for myself and friends is however not brain surgery so some time in getting things right is not a bad thing i have been working diligently on an outfit for tiny kitty robert tonner 10 reduction of kitty collier she is my wonderful break from antique reproduction things and let me tell you it is hard to take those breaks as i love my little dolls so much sometimes it is interesting to exercise contemporary sewing skills and to keep my hand in i have almost forgotten how to use a sewing machine not hardly likely much of my delay is due to a lack of a sewing room and organized sewing space we still do not after three months have a roof fixed up there helene did a job in the south and we are in the que for things but not our turn yet we are much better off than most as we have a home and live in the spaces downstairs it seems ungrateful to complain i try not to get impatient but truthfully i want to get to the top of the list i did spend a couple of weeks on crutches as i sprained my big toe so walking was out of the question i am now all better and out and about and with new walking shoes they feel great anyway back to tiny kitty i found an outfit on pinterest and am not sure why but it took all my attention this would be my first pattern draft for tiny kitty the first thing i learned and should have known is mind your measurements for some reason the gown was too large so here we go with papa and mama bear routine yes it was too large i had mistakenly added the seams twice the original pattern was a simplicity 7858 1960s next it was too tight no one likes that but the problem to solve here was where were the closures to go the center back seam of this doll would have taken up the entire back panel so i attempted to place the closure in the side seam but that would stop me from slipping it either up her legs a step in dress or i would need an additional snap or hook at the shoulder that wasn t working for me either finally i decided to make the back side seam open and added a hook and thread loop to hold the back seam closed i will be honest i am not great at getting those perfectly placed it really did not look well when put on a doll then i remembered a skirt pattern i did that wanted to come open just a tad when the skirt was closed i decided i would put in what i call a swing snap and that would make the closure i think it was just right the last task was to make the cape i continued to make quite a few mistakes there too of course i did i sewed the sleeves backwards twice then i sewed the front side to the back naturally so i put it down for a couple of days then laid everything out as it should have gone and voila i had a correctly made and fitting cape it s line in china silk too the backside of the cape made of a cotton twill the inside of the cape with silk lining finished cape i hope you all are looking forward to a wonderful year of dollmaking and dressing i am hoping as i catch up with things here i will have made all my errors in january and the year will look great wouldn t that be wonderful and please don t forget have fun kathi posted by kathi at 8 10 am 0 comments labels 60s fashion robert tonner sewing techniques tiny kitty newer posts older
