Hi Cuties! I finally got a design embroidered! Yea!
I have been making doll clothes for my grand daughter's new dolls (and old ones-lol) she got for Christmas. This is a Sue Box design simply called ARose. It was a free design in 2018, I believe. My regret is I didn't have the same color fabric (I made the piping) and threads (I used in the design). The design stitched beautifully, as you can see in the close-up. I will post more in Sewing, if you have the time to look.

No regrets here 'cause I keep my patterns and I have a great-grand daughter, although she's not one year yet.

11506Beautiful dress and embroidery. The embroidered design goes so well with the fabric. I LOVE it! Brings back memories of playing with my doll that was that size decades ago. What a treasure you've given your granddaughter.

The design ended up being perfect for the fabric and dress. It is such a nice design given in her newsletter, too. Thanks!
707What a great designer outfit. The rose is beautiful but then so is the outfit. My granddaughter tucked her dolls away and she's only 12 1/2 y/o so I decided no more doll clothes. She and I both gave my great grands clothes for the dolls they got for Christmas. I just deleted all my computer patterns. Yea for you for still feeling like making them. It is beautiful!

Oh it almost made me sick when I read you deleted your doll patterns. I save so many on my pc, then load them on a USB stick, before I delete on the pc. I hoard them like I do fabric-lol-Thanks

I didn't think to save them to a usb but then I thought to myself at the time, I don't need them, I won't make any more. I just showed a friend at sew club how to make a doll skirt with and without border at bottom using just a rectangle of fabric and no pattern. Next month I told her I'd show her how to sew a pr. of pants on recycled denim--no pattern. I gave her a store doll that is 18 inch that I had in sewing room but decided I didn't need her anymore--My 12 y/o granddaughter packed up her AG dolls--my great girls were given dolls for Christmas but I don't plan on making clothes for them. Between 12 y/o and me, we gave them plenty of clothes to put on and take off.

I'm lucky, too. A lady from church gave me this fabric. It was leftover from her grand daughter's bedroom decor.Thanks Laura

Oh she loved it. She had to bring and show her mom when my daughter got back from the hospital. Thanks for looking!
