Hi Cuties! I thought I would show and tell you, Nora is not the only one who likes to play-lol I am making new clothes for her dolls. The small Frozen doll, I'll tell you about later, was bought at the thrift shop and came only with her moulded panty. So, I made her a polka dot dress and shoes. I didn't have a pattern for either one, but luckily the draft one I drew up fit. Once you make a pair of shoes, the only hard part is not getting burnt! I know why it's called a hot glue gun...

I made Nora's 'Our Generation' doll a leotard that I had a free pattern for. It fit an American girl doll and these are the same size. So I was gonna make a tulle skirt but it ended up looking better on the Frozen doll, after trimming the length. So I drew up a leotard pattern from her dress top and looking at the AG leotard pattern. Luckily again, it fit. So then I used the rest of my tulle and made a skirt I think you will agree looks a lot better for her size. (Don't look at her ballet shoes, as they are not finished at time of photo) The leotards velcro at the shoulders, so easy on and off.
The black beret was included with the doll on the right in the last picture. In fact, it is tagged to her head, so it stays put. However, I did make her long waisted lavender dress and gray stockings. My first time to use this pattern and I thought it was a little too long waisted so on the pink one, I cut off about a half inch at the bottom top edge. I posted it in Projects because it has a rose design, from suebox on it. I was concerned it might be a little too big for a doll but I think it's ok now that it is made. The design stitched out beautifully, no problem at all.
You know those socks they give you to put on at the hospital with the gripper stuff on the bottom suppose to keep you from slipping and falling down? Well, that is what I made the stockings out of.-lol- I wasn't going to cut my good socks up, my feet freeze as it is, but I wasn't going to wear these at home either. So I made them putting the grip stuff on the inside and it helps to keep them up on her too.
Naturally, the first one I made had to end up being Frozen's because the waist to crotch was too short. So then I added an inch next time and the bigger dolls got it.
I'll have to show that one later because I forgot to take a picture. Nothing pretty, mind you.
Okay, if you're still reading, I'll tell you about the 'Frozen Doll and the Thrift Shop'.

Nora is six now and losing teeth about every two weeks. Well, her mom brings her here for her Papa to pull them out. I usually get things ahead for times like this as a surprise or 'prize' as Gus calls it and he gets one too.
After this happened a couple times, the next time they came to visit Gus wanted a 'prize'. I asked him if he had a loose tooth. He shook his head and said, "NO, but Ora does!" to which Nora screamed, "NO, I don't!"
Gus is three, but loves his sister or the prize so much, he is willing for Nora to loose all her teeth, so he can get a prize!-lol

By the way, Frozen was only $2, but her hair was a frizz ball, in a ponytail. Nora couldn't stand it, so I kept the doll here and for 2 days as I worked on this hair. Such an improvement, makes me regret I didn't take before pictures. Nora was amazed-lol
Well, I hope you lasted long enough to read the story of Frozen & the Thrift Shop and enjoyed your read. I also hope you like the doll fashion show-lol-Have a good night or day Cuties-Toogie
