Project Doll Runway - Round #1

I submitted my first entry for round one of Project Doll Runway. The challenge was to make the "missing link" in a Girl of the Years collection. I went with the obvious and made Marisol's folklorico dress...

Harriet's Yellow Dress

I have said it before and I will say it again...I am at my happiest when I am creating doll clothes from the American Girl book illustrations. For me, it is so much more interesting to make something completely fresh and from scratch.

The latest dress from "off the page" is Harriet's yellow dress. A member on AGPT commissioned me to make it for her and I was more than happy to take it on.

Here is the picture from "Addy Saves the Day" that I used...



...and here is the result...

Valentine's Day Outfits

I love Valentine's Day. While I believe that every day is a perfect day to say "I love you"...I think Valentine's Day is an especially good time to say "You mean so much to me."

In honor of this very special day, I did a photo shoot. I have been impatiently holding onto these photos for a week!

The goal with this shoot was to be as creative as possible without spending a penny. I have to say that I am thrilled with the results of my work!


I knew that I wanted to use a white backdrop and incorporate hearts into it. I spotted this craft on Martha Stewart's website...

Crayon Hearts

...and knew it would be perfect. I strung them onto white thread and hung them across the backdrop. I think it creates such a neat effect!



Valentine themed outfits are a problem for me. I decided against going with the usual novelty prints and opted for plain old pink. The key was to make the plain old pink as fancy as possible! For Traveling Noelle and Marisol's tops, I used Liberty Jane's pattern...

Liberty Jane Tee

...and I embellished Noelle's shirt with a chiffon flower and paired both tops with skirts.

I have a thing for setting my heart on complicated projects. My thought line is that it won't be that difficult...but I quickly find out that there is a lot more involved than I had ever dreamed. Project Impossible this time was a pettiskirt. I created it using this pattern...

Pettiskirt Pattern

...but I do not know if I could ever do it again. It was just too much work. I have to say though that these pettiskirts are the most amazing things on earth! I would have loved to wear one when I was a little girl.

Hoodies!

SOLD OUT!

They really do go! However, if you are still interested in getting one...I am now taking on orders. You can drop me a PM at either AGFANS or AGPT, or you can e-mail me at theheritageclothesline@yahoo.com.

Green Fern Wrap Dress



Navy Blue Dot Dress

~ Addy's Opera Gown ~

As some of you might know, I often sew and sell my creations. My absolute favorite jobs happen when someone comes to me with an idea for an outfit and asks me to make it a reality. I love doing it because it is such a creative process and requires you to really focus on just how to put the outfit together.



Recently, a member on AGPlaythings, came to me and asked if I could make Addy's opera dress from one of her mystery books. She presented me with a sketch, I said I could and we bounced ideas off of each other. Firinel, which is the username of the lady, gets full credit for the design ideas on this dress! I think it looks fantastic and I am thrilled that I was able to create it for her!
