American Girl Halloween Doll Clothes

I could sew these doll clothes all day... well that's just what I did today! I love dolls, must be the kid in me. I decided to start sewing holiday clothing for the doll, got a late start on Halloween, but hope to get on Christmas right away.The three dresses are made from cotton fabric and trimmed in polyester lace. The tights and leotard are stretchy knit and the tuttu is from tulle.

I need a Clone

I think I need to be cloned! The Northwoods Grizzlies ordered 50 pair of mittens and 30 hats to sell in their store. This along with the fall craft sales starting and keeping Gilley's Naturals stocked with doll clothes, mittens and hats doesn't leave me much free time. And we have a new grandson; Evan Christopher, born June 14, and I just love having him come spend the day! I am busier than ever, but I love it!
This Saturday, September 29, I will be in Virginia at Holy Spirit Catholic Church for their annual October Fest. There will be 27 vendors, food, bingo and bake sale. 11am to 7pm. Plenty of time to get your shopping done!

We are now doing minor clothing repairs, hems and zippers, you can come see us at market or drop your items at Gilley's Naturals in Cook.

ZIPPERS

A clothing manufacturer went out of business and we bid on some of their fabric and supplies. We didn't get any fabric but we did win the bid on some zippers. 1700 of them!! Well that is a lot of jacket zippers. Then I was contacted by a lady that had some sewing stuff left in her storage unit. Well if you know us, we can't pass up a deal. Cassandra and I went last Sat with an extended cab pickup with a topper. We came home with the topper and the backseat full, good thing I am short because Cassandra moved the seat all the way forward so she could fit more in!! Then she packed so well that the topper had no space left. That load yielded us between 3000 and 4000 zippers!! Bundles of white shoelaces, thread and some very nice fabric. I was able to start some little jumpers today. Cassandra made a bag with some of the zippers, very cute. Next week I should have some photos to post.

Lane's big boy undershorts

I used to sew undershorts for John & our boys and it was always so fun to sew the size 2; they're so cute. Today I sewed our grandson Lane 6 pair. I had forgot how much I enjoyed sewing them. I will have to look for some fabric more suitable for a little guy than boring grey.
