I decided to make myself a thread to show off all my sewing e
eriments. :3
I started eerimenting with some patterns last night and put together an eerimental outfit for Alanna (and got carried away and was up until 4 am sewing. Oops.)
I used some modified MH patterns and some eerimentation. 
all the bits are upcycled: her shirt used to be part of one of my shirts. The high waisted skirt is from denim scraps left over from a craft project at church where the youth were making dog toys for a local shelter (and they gave me a whole bag of scraps that were too small for their projects! I'm lucky that lots of friends know I make doll clothes and quilts: I get a LOT of scraps that way.)
I really wanted to make her a cross-body messenger bag. The proportions of this one are a bit off -- it used to be a pocket, I just folded it up a bit and sewed the sides. I didn't want to make the strap so long it would go over her head, so I sewed one end of the ribbon down and then used a snap on the other side so it can open and close. :3
Not the best work, but it was a fun eeriment. I think today I'm going to fuss with dress patterns!
