Small Sewing

Or should I say “sewing for small dolls”?

Someone handed me 3 kits for American Girl dolls at the fabric swap and said she thought I would like them for my granddaughters-sewists are amazing!! So I got busy-actually watched some pretty good movies-and sewed up the garments. It meant I didn’t have to deal with my upcoming sewing queue 🙂

The patterns and instructions were printed on the fabric. Easy to cut out and pretty easy to sew-except for the “miles” of gathering and the tight curves. The pockets didn’t make the cut!

Thanks, Liz!!

On a more adult wardrobe note, I listened to Everyday Style School podcast, “10 Ways to Boost Your Style in Under 10 Minutes“.

More than a few of them resonated with me so I thought I’d share, in case you need inspiration-

1. Plan your outfits ahead of time
2. Incorporate texture into outfits
3. Add a belt
4. Swap your shoes
5. Add one expected accessory (the post Covid version of “Take off one piece of jewelry 🙂
6. Cluster or layer accessories
7. Spend two minutes styling your outfit
8. Add a third piece
9. Freshen up your clothes
10. Boost your beauty routine

She does a great job of elaborating so here is the link if you’d like to listen-https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-everyday-style-school/id1464962252?i=1000685132503

Happy dressing!!
