The Ribbit outfit for a doll

My 63^rd and 64^th completed projects for 2008! (and my first completely finished Christmas sewing project!)

Prairie really likes changing on her baby but it doesn’t have very many outfits. So I am trying to replicate as many of her outfits that she has right now as possible. I am having sooooo much fun sewing doll clothes. I really love being creative with patterns with a doll, because it is so small.

She has this outfit that is a green shirt and matching green pants, and she LOVES it and calls it her ribbit outfit (like after a frog). Well when my mom made the outfit for Autumn two years ago, she pretty much used every piece of fabric to finish it so I knew she didn’t have any scraps leftover, but I realized that I had made a t-shirt a while ago for myself that was about the same color. When I checked the scraps I had it matched close enough, and the pieces that I had left were about the perfect size to make the t-shirt and a pair of pants. I was amazed. I didn’t have to piece anything, and after I was done the scraps were even worth saving to put into a patchwork quilt, so I love when I use stuff up, plus I don’t need to buy anything, I love that.

Anyway I am very excited about this project, and can’t wait to get some more doll clothes done.
