Doll Fashions

Dsc_1651 Sofia has two dolls she loves: Mika and Marta (my namesake). While she isn't really into dressing them up yet, I am, so any chance I get I "convince" her they should have new clothes. Here are their latest fashions.
Mika (blue bow) is wearing a summery outfit, perfect for a stroll on the boardwalk. I made the pants from an old long-sleeve onesie and used a piece of a footed PJ for the pants' waitsband (the pants were serious low-riders when I first cut them and if you've ever seen a CBK's butt crack, you know how indecent it is...) and the tank top. The pants have an elastic and the tank top some velcro in the back.

Marta is more girlie, so I made her a simple pillowcase dress using an old shirt I had and made her another pair of pants like Mika's using the sleeves from a tee shirt Sofia (I cut these "higher" than the other ones so they didn't need an added waistband).


I also made them some diapers from left over flannel because they aren't potty trained yet.
