This baby doll that I bought second-hand, has a muslin body that comes all the way to her hands and her feet, so I was blessed that this patten included a long-sleeved top and pants. She really needs a bonnet or hat, doesn't she?
The doll was found at a local second-hand store, and it says da-da (with a stutter sometimes), night-night, I love you, and she giggles. It's tiny, 12 inches, and Allyssia just loved it and tried to mimic it's voice.
During the making of the outfit, I heard the neighbor mowing his yard, and I thought that I should go and mow near the mailbox, so he could tell where I start and stop (he's been away for awhile). I had to stop the mower for some reason when the hubby hollered at me, and then it wouldn't restart. So I just headed right back to the sewing machine. In a little bit, I heard the mower restart, and knew that hubster was waiting for me to come back to it. He mowed last week, but then he fell again, this time at Church, and has been moving from the walker, to his cane, and now to a painful limp, so I had to take over the mowing chore. I finished the yard, finished the outfit, and then made two aprons for the hubs to wear when he has his dinner in the recliner. After visiting with family for an hour or so, I decided to cut out and make an extra couple of aprons for 'whatever'........good thing to have on hand. The picture's terrible, but that's two of the purple aprons, and two tan and black for hubby.
I forgot to mention the other day that I had put out a 'garden'. This is it folks....
