Hi everyone,
As I was working in my sewing room, I ran across a few fabrics that might have been turned into really sweet Valentine’s Day doll dresses this year. Between my surgery, my hubby’s surgery and then cutting my finger, I really messed things up and these are a few that will have to wait till next year. It makes me SO sad when I miss a holiday to sew for. I’m SEW SORRY!
Here were a few ideas of mine…
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
Oh, what pretty fabrics, Jeanne! Gigi is thrilled because all your choices are PINK, her favorite color! I especially like the floral on the right (actually second to the right of the five different fabrics). Hopefully we will see something made of it in the near future–maybe for Easter?
All so pretty and springlike, Jeanne! Why can’t you save these and sew them for spring and Easter? I think there is something here for every type of doll, and what’s not to like about pink, flowers and laces and ribbon? The main problem would be who gets what!
We got a dusting of snow here this morning, and I believe you are getting more, since you are farther south. Tomorrow is the big question mark, will it be snow, sleet and/or ice, or all three? We are going to sit tight and stay home!
Bonjour. le rose est une couleur qui va toujours aux poupées. Pâques et le printemps ,vont venir et il est encore temps de coudre dans ces coloris.
Vous m’avez donné le virus,je suis en train de réaménager ,mon atelier de couture . A mon tour de déménager. Mais je pense ,que c’est bien agréable de coudre dans un nouvel univers. Amitiés à vous toutes. Georgina.
Tuesday!?? and how is it already 11 February?
Jeanne, these fabrics are adorable. When you are ready and the time is right, you will be back into using these fabrics. I agree with the above comments, Spring and Easter
are perfect. -and you can think up a matching scarf hat or a wrap to go with
We sewists know how to take care in the “lull”. I am spending my days basting silly english paper piecing bits. I am already tiring of this but determined to make one tiny something of 9 blocks.
I have plenty of hand sewing for after our move when my body is decrepit and aching and I will be icing and heating.
Think of the progress you have made on your sewing space.
It is sorted and much more organized.
We are expecting about 4 to 6 inches of snow this afternoon and evening. It will look pretty and we are stocked and ready. Stay warm dear friends
Well, I certainly agree with others that both of those fabrics would be a shame to not use until next year. I think they would work for spring/Easter, or any special occasion from now until June. So, Jeanne, has more than enough time to whip up an outfit for one of her girls. Maybe even a matching vest/shirt/pants for one of the boys too. Picture the outfit shown outdoors next to newly emerged flowers. Come on Jeanne, these fabrics are begging to be made into sweet outfits. 🙂
Well, another frosty morning here. I’ll be out uncovering plants soon. However, I think the poor plants will be in the clear for tonight as we have a storm heading in. Supposed to be a lot of rain around 4AM and then quickly blowing on. I looked ahead though and next week, we may have some more cold temperatures. Ugh
Still working on a Valentine dress here. I’m trying, but something always seems to interrupt me. Maybe this one will be done in time for St. Paddy’s Day. 🙂
Today’s my father’s birthday. If he were still with us, he’d be 108. 🙂
Dear Jeanne, I see you are feeling a little sad because you cannot make an outfit(s) for Valentine’s Day. I told my dollies about this and here is what one of them (Charlotte Noelle to be exact) said.
“Tell Auntie Jeanne that we can have Valentine’s Day in May. Valentine’s Day makes people happy and makes them want to skip through the streets and hug people. Well, May makes people happy too.”
So Jeanne, you heard it right from Charlotte Noelle, who knows everything, according to her.
Haha, Dorothy. That Charlotte Noelle of yours is absolutely right. I’ll bet she’s fun one.
Dear Laura, Charlotte Noelle has an opinion on everything. It is amazing that someone so young “knows” so much (laugh). She can usually be found arguing with her sister Selah, which generally results in both of them in a time out and Mama rushing to the kitchen to make a cup of tea to settle her nerves (smile).
Since I’m always a day late and a dollar short in getting outfits made and pictures taken for certain holidays, I’m with Charlotte Noelle. It’s never too late….
I also don’t see why these prints cannot be made up into spring or Easter dresses. There’s nothing that specifically marks them for Valentine’s – no hearts, word LOVE, cupids etc. Easter falls almost as late as it can this year, so you have plenty of time to make a number of dresses
Oh I love the pink eyelet fabric and would love to see something made with that. All the fabrics are nice though and so are the trims.
Must get back to office stuff. No sewing for me today but I’m hoping to get my current recordkeeping project completed by Friday and maybe, just maybe, I can get some pictures taken and sewing done over the weekend. So far we don’t have plans for Saturday for the first time in weeks.
Jeanne the fabrics are so lovely,, and as the others have said, perfect for spring and Easter. I do hope you can get back to sewing soon, I know how hard it is to stop. I have send you some photos to use and have more if you want some to fill in for you.
Prayers always for you and George.
