I also made the pillow pet as an accessory/prop and the red suitcase. I did not make the teddy bear, but Mookie insisted that it be included.

 

Hey, OK, let's do it again! Hopefully with no extension this time....

Anastasia is very excited for her trip to Grandma's. She has new jammies and a new robe too!



Everything fits well, and rubber duckie is ready to go along too!





Her accessories got a bit out of hand, but there are plenty to choose from. I don't know if the Pink Pottomus is an accessory or a prop; I altered a free pattern to make it - it was supposed to be eight inches, not two!



The smocking was very easy to do on the 1/8 inch gingham, and it gave good fullness too.



Here she is, all arrived and getting ready for bed. The special blanket that Grandma keeps for her is already on the bed.



An extra. She was so tired from travelling and finally getting there that she fell asleep on top of the covers, but under her special blanket.

I had a ball doing this challenge, Thanks!

 

So excited to start working on this tomorrow!! I'm going to do my best to actually start early and get done this weekend, what a great start to a New Year.

On that note Happy New Year to everyone!

 

Happy New Years!!!!

So last night I took a look at my fabric stash in the craft room, found everything I needed but want to wait til tonight to post, might find something better if I go out today.

 

I had a bunch of flannel in a tote that I realized last night was in the garage..so have to go shovel a path today after work..lol..I have my ideas set and made a 1st draft of the pattern last night just needs a few little adjustments and I'm good to go. No procrastination this year. Hoping I can find fabrics at home as I don't want to go out in this horrid snowy weather we are having right now. Though I do have a Walmart close by that still carries fabric so if all else fails I shall check there.

 

Sigh...Wiishu eyes the above post with envy...

I'm hoping I've got everything I need downstairs. I need to get rid of fabric, not accumulate more... Fear I'm not going to be very original. I OWE Pook the outfit. I promised him two months ago and he's giving me the hairy eyeball at least a couple of times a day ever since.

 

@Kitty Blue
That's why I'm glad I have an attic! But it's half full of material, yarn, and doll props!
I got to spend yesterday morning serging and cutting the basic pieces for the outfit. The serging was the hard part - keeping it straight on the 1/8 inch gingham! We had a late dinner with the family and while we chatted after dinner I got part of one sleeve done! Yay!
Pardon the shadow in the lower left but here's a shot of some of the pieces. The white terry in the background is part of the materials that I will use. I really wanted blue but I'm not allowing myself to buy more material until I've used 100 yards (self imposed rule that never works).

 

Oh I do have an attic..lol..that is my studio/sewing room its just a tote of fabrics that I was going to sell off because I have waaaay too much..lol..so I had put all the stuff I sorted through in the container and I didn't know my boyfriend put it in the garage.

love your nightdown so far I'm a big fan of gingham...and that is so true I've been attempting to use the fabrics I have instead of shopping for more. I don't even want to think about how many yards of fabric are in my attic..lol..which is also full of doll props as well.

 

I'mma do something simple...I'm not great at the sewing thing, though it is fun to make a thing or two for my dolls.

 

My daughter and grand princess left Ohio a few hours before the airport was shut down yesterday......what a surprise when they walked into my kitchen! So maybe a quick trip to the fabric store before the Zoo tomorrow or I'll just use what I found, pattern draft is coming along slowly.

 

Is making a pattern necessary? I tend to...uhhmmm...free ball (?) it when it comes to sewing...?

 

arg, I missed the deadline but my new boy is on his way home. *super excited*

 

What a cutie! And LOVE her horse! Where'd you find such a treasure? And just the right scale.

Naw. Free ball, winging it, and good old-fashioned Indiana Jones "making it up as you go along." Time honored traditions! I keep thinking I should make a standard pattern for Pooki, but I always just lay him on the fabric and cut around him!

Oh nooooos! But congrats on the new boy. What is he?

 

Well, the jammies are done. I'm going for a cool summer look and polar bears aren't in the script but the robe makes her look like a polar bear is hugging her so... back to the drawing board. Any robes I had as a kid always matched the jammies, so I had very few robes for summer - you just didn't need one. I'll figure something out - like she brought two sets of jammies with her! She's spending a holiday weekend with grandma at the shore - would that be allowed? The accessories are coming along, but not as quickly as I'd hoped.

 

Vindalootoo...that horse was a lucky find at a local flea market, it was grouped with a mini doll carriage

Soooo, family is back stateside and I'm back in doll play mode once again. I'm starting on my design first thing in the morning after I have my first cup of coffee. I was all set to draw out my design but now I see we don't have to! I'm going to use what I had found in the house as I did check out the fabric store and found nothing better.

 

well I'm completely stuck because the pj's I was wanting to make for my girl would look silly with a robe...so back to square one guess I'll do something more simple and boring. Totally forgot about the robe part. *sigh* and of course I tore thru all of my fabrics and I just can't seem to find something that would look good for either idea...hate to go out and buy more fabric...might just take a break this week and work on another project, still plenty of time to go.

 

This is what I have so far....


SAMSUNG CSC by PRGerry *Slowly coming back to life*, on Flickr

I'm truly no good at drawing but here's the pj's so far....


bjd runway challenge pjs by PRGerry *Slowly coming back to life*, on Flickr

 

How's everyone doing????? Every time I click in I hear 'crickets'....lol

So, after two tries I perfected the pj pattern and sewed up the top and bottom, still have to put in the snap but that's no big deal. I'm getting ready now to work on the robe, not too sure about this but moving on I'll see how it goes

 

Hi PRGerry!
Jammies are done, so are the slippers and robe. I'm working on the blanket and stuffed toy she takes to bed with her - both are very time consuming! I've gathered the props (suitcase, bathroom toiletries, etc.) and still have to find the bed in the attic for the glamour shot. I'm way ahead of my usual pace for this game!

 

I did good tonight, got the slippers done....worked on the robe pattern, so in the morning I'll cut it out and sew it up and see how it looks! I didn't even think about the items for the glamour photo shoot yet, I don't know if she's going in a bed or just do a sleeping bag for her I'm starting to enjoy the challenge now that I'm giving it my attention.

 

Well I'm definitely behind like usual...been spending most of my time looking for the right fabric and still no luck. My local fabric shops really suck at carrying cool fabrics..lol..so another trip is in order today and I'll just have to choose whatever they have since all the stuff I have at home I don't have enough of or its just the wrong fabric for what I want to do. So this weekend will be sew like a mad woman weekend..lol.

 

I free-styled a pair of fuzzy blue shorts and a loose, armless robe more than two weeks ago (A lot of tucking in the loose folds, however...)...now I'm just stuck on the accessory/accessories...
=_=

 

I got nothin' but good intentions going on here. Not doing too well with my New Year's resolution to not be such a procrastinator. However, my good intentions are pushing me toward actually doing something this weekend.

 

Had to go back to the drawing board for a redo of the robe...after the first one was all sewed up it turned out it was too form fitting So now the new robe fits good and the slippers are done. Hope I can get at least one hour of work time today

 

Oh, I wish I hadn't have been so busy during the holidays and wasn't on line much. It didn't help that we lost power and internet for a few days because of the ice storm. This would have been a fun one to participate in. I can't wait to see awesome sleep wear.

 

Seems like your problem with your robe was the opposite of my problem...the robe for my 68cm doll was too large/loose, so I ended up folding a lot of the loose portions to make it a better fit...

 

I worked tonight trying to find items for wherever Maggie is going to lay her head down, at a lost right now so maybe tomorrow I'll have a better vision of what I'm looking for

How's everyone else coming along?

 

All the parts are done, I just need to put everything together for the photo-shoot. We just got 12 inches of snow and had to defrost the cold water pipe to the second floor so today didn't work for pictures. I'm not sure if they will take the toy as an accessory or as a prop. It was taken from a free pattern (Lion Yarns) for an eight inch toy that I shrunk to two inches - quarter scale like the doll. Either way I do have enough accessories to fit the rules.

 

Wow....12 inches! I have been away from Jersey for almost 19 years now and wouldn't even know how to drive in that stuff anymore...memories of spinning around on Rt. 3 added many grey hairs!

I think I found everything I need, it's hard at times to locate things in my doll room, I keep trying to organize but doesn't work out the way I plan. I have to re-read the rules to make sure I post correctly as this is the first time for me.

 

I cannot wait to see everyone's work!

 

My entry is posted on page one. I actually got done early on this one, despite all the needlework involved. It snowed again today (only two inches this time) so I decided to get the pictures done. I'm not about to try to take them outdoors!

 

aw the little crochet animal is soo adorable. Great job on the smocking as well...I keep meaning to try that out sometime. Tomorrow will have to be my day to get on the ball, I have the pjs cut out but need to figure out what to use for the robe and accessory.

 

Unfortunately I don't think I'm gonna get anything done for this. I have zero inspiration and I've squeezed my girl into a fancy dress I don't want to take her out of at least until after the meet it's for.

Still gonna check back for pictures though!

 

LadyFeather I love the entire setup you did! The smocking, slippers, blanket and the pink Pottomus is fantastic Great job on this project!

Kitty Blue I also plan on finishing up on my project.

Sailorsamus I'm sorry you didn't get into the project, maybe next time will work out better!

 

Awesome job LadyFeather. It must have been a lot of work to make all those things so well. Totally adorable!

 

I cannot wait to see everyone's entries! Yours is adorable LadyFeather! I toyed with entering this one but my girls just aren't the sleepwear type being fairies and all. Good luck everyone!

 

phooey..of all the things that I thought would be the easiest i didn't make the robe big enough..sigh..not sure what I'm going to do as I highly doubt I can get to the fabric store anytime soon. and I'm not really liking the robe made out of this thin fleece at all but its the only thing I could find. so back to square one on how to fix it. Really wanted to finish tonight. the PJs and slippers are done though now...also still need to figure out accessories besides the slippers.

 

I've been that route before! You can always use flannel - that's what I used when the terry made her look like she was being swallowed by a polar bear. And that was the finest terry I could find! Robes don't have to be heavy. Summer robes can be made of cotton materials.
On the too small sizing, It depends on where it's too small. You can always open the side seams and add a piece of braid or ribbon for effect - same with down the center of the fronts and the back. It's tricky but the sleeves can be slit to add extra width the same way, and a piece can be added to make a fancy cuff.

 

Yikes, I feel for you Kitty Blue as that's what happened to the first robe I sewed up, funny 'cause after making the pattern I did do a sample and all was well I thought I was going to be finished today but the hours flew by and I spend too much time on the stupid toy! I should have everything set up for a morning shoot so I can make good use of the added light.

How's everyone else doing???

 

Oh, and I forgot my manners. I wanted to add - thanks to all of you for the nice comments. I had fun making everything.

 

done and pictures posted, so fun, thank you!

 

looks like we had similar ideas Blue Oracle...completely different character prints but similar idea for the robe and sleep mask..lol..that is if I ever finish mine. Looks cute..I was unable to find decent character prints or iron ons so I had to work with a more childish pattern for my girl. Hoping to finish up mostly today...we shall see...still wish I could have found better fabric for my robe. *shrugs*

 

Blue Oracle your project looks sooo colorful and cute! I love the fabric you used for the robe

My update......(can you hear the drum roll lol) Well, outfit and stuff done, victim set at the scene, room all set-up....lights....but low camera battery! Here we go with puertorican Murphy's law as I couldn't find the charger and tried using the one for my Bluetooth but the light on the camera would turn on but a few seconds later turned off but after tracking my use from the last time I used my camera I found it.....having a hot cup of coffee to calm down after the drama and I'll be set This is one of the reasons I don't like to leave anything for the last minute, I know I still have time!

 

you are right..but since I was going for more of a winter pj set I though something in fleece would be better. I was going to go through all my options of trims, etc but ended up in the end just recutting it out..now just need to sew it all together. had just enough to remake it..so false alarm work will be done tonight (hopefully)

For once I didn't do a sample I was like this should be fine..chop chop chop..silly big girl has big hips compared to the rest of her..lol.

 

Sigh...I discovered GuildWars2 this month and it's taken over all my free time. Don't know if I'll get this done or not. Still hopeful. (Pook looks accusingly at me) Anyway, BlueOracle, LadyFeather: ADORABLE!!!!!

 

Just put Maggie's pic's up, I had a ball doing this project Can't wait to see everyone's pictures!

 

aw the little hand puppet is adorable! great job. Now I'm off to the attic to try and finish mine...don't think I'll have time to set up a temp room for her but I'll figure something out for the glamour shot.
