Fashion Friday

Veronica is stunning in 'After Five'  #934.  The
white shawl collar and double breasted bodice add
uniqueness to the dress.

Fashion Friday

Ava Winter is as cool as can be on a summer's
day in 'Cotton Casual'  #912.

Fashion Friday

Midge is modeling a dress that is a birthday present
for my friend, Carol.  There is also an outfit for her
Allan doll with brown pants and shirt that matches
the band of the sundress.....but it's not ready for
pictures yet.

Fashion Friday

Barbara is wearing her new waitress uniform.  I
made a separate skirt and blouse as it seemed more
versatile in the wardrobe scheme of things.  The
apron is what really makes it a waitress uniform
although it does need a pocket for her order pad.
(And yes, that is a straight pin holding her blouse
closed......not quite done yet.)

Fashion Friday

Evelyn is modeling a lovely dress made from a
vintage pattern.  I like the wide boatneck on this
dress and it is very easy to make.  I think made
up in a solid color with a contrasting belt
would be nice too!

Short Hiatus

We are finalizing plans to have new tile floors installed
in our entire house except for the master bathroom.  This
will include tear out of all the old carpeting and tile and
the fireplace surround and a demolish of the hearth.  All
at one time.

This means just about everything needs to be packed up
and moved out. UGH!

We haven't finalized the date yet, but after finishing up a
few sewing projects this week I am going to start on the
doll room.  The dolls themselves will have to be moved
to somewhere in the master closet, which isn't as 'masterly'
as it sounds but they can't go in the garage where it easily
gets into the 100's this time of year.  I don't think they would
actually melt but I do not want to take any chances especially
with the vintage ones.  Everything else needs to be packed
in boxes and stored in the garage along with all our furniture.

I am not looking forward to this.....they say it will only be a
week, but we all know how that goes.  I am hoping we can
move some of the larger pieces of furniture from room to
room as we progress.  I just figure it will be better to be
inconvenienced at one time rather than do it in stages.

So 'My Barbie's Closet' will be on hiatus for about a month
while I pack up, live through the remodel and unpack.  I aim
to do a little doll housecleaning while unpacking so it may
be a little longer.

I have set up several 'Fashion Friday' entries for your
perusal.  I hope you enjoy them.........

and wish me luck!
