#I absolutely cheated and used minky to make it way easier to make

The first doll dress for my 18” doll! It still needs snaps but I’m going to wait to sew them on until the doll arrives, so that I can tweak the fit a little if needed

#sewing #handmade #doll clothes #1840s doll dress #tj makes doll clothes #(that’s my new tag for all the 18 inch tall doll stuff) #(1/12 scale doll stuff remains in the hypothetical dollhouse tag) #the pattern says it’s 1840s I’m not saying that #I absolutely cheated and used minky to make it way easier to make #I did not expect it to work up so quickly? #I mean it’ll take a lot longer when I make another one out of woven fabric #with all the ironing and finishing off edges and sewing a lining #(all things I did not do for this one) #but still! I was worried it’d be like a multi day project #not an afternoon project #this one only took and hour and a half to sew. that’s not counting the time for cutting out the fabric or sewing in the snaps #so it’ll probably be closer to two or two and a half hours total #but still! pretty quick!
