As for the doll clothes - more power to you...I tried and failed, but thankfully none of my nieces really got into dolls, so I was never asked to make clothes. The dress is really cute and I do believe that qualifies as long hair.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515254293191853580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132886906194353770.post-12466622230945626062011-11-30T13:38:31.047-08:002011-11-30T13:38:31.047-08:00Those scissors are just awesome!Those scissors are just awesome!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132886906194353770.post-37775845839209233532011-11-30T09:14:34.883-08:002011-11-30T09:14:34.883-08:00What a treasure are those buttonhole scissors... a...What a treasure are those buttonhole scissors... a wonderful memory!

I've always used the chisel and block of wood and hammer method! <br /><br />I never played with dolls as a child but as a young mother, was asked to make clothing for some cause. My goodness, did I have fun, got so carried away - made at least 25 entire outfits for a decent sized doll! Much easier than making clothing for myself! 8-))Elaine Adairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664504842156046995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132886906194353770.post-29063035303914142872011-11-30T08:32:44.376-08:002011-11-30T08:32:44.376-08:00It's great that you were able to get your gran...It's great that you were able to get your grandmother's buttonhole scissors; not many around like those anymore I'd bet. Eli will love the wheels shirt, and you know Abigail will love the doll and those cute clothes you're making. You are a good granny! I'll get the binding stitched onto the last gift quilt this morning, and this afternoon the porch lights go up before another week of cold, wet weather sets in! Ugh!

(I'm a slow learner.) Thanks for the demo--fascinating! Nice little keepsake for you.<br />Great looking little boy shirt! He can grow into it. : )<br />I used to make clothes for refurbished dolls for our church's Christmas project for needy families. I thought it was so fun.
