Notes

I made the sundress and the shoes from the patterns, but the capri pants are just a lengthened version of the original shorts pattern. I used Drops merino held double with kid seta. And when I turned them inside out to sew in the ends, I liked the purl side a lot better. It looks a bit like “jeggings” this way. After finishing the dress and pants, I realized we had way too much purple going on, so she needed something very different for the shoes… green was the winner!

I really wanted to make the cardigan too, and I will for my niece’s doll, but my daughter refuses to wear sweaters, so in the spirit of mini-me, I made her a poncho instead, with the same yarn I used on my daughter’s Christmas poncho. I LOVE how the stripes turned out so perfectly!

Update: 5/30/2013: Made the stripey pants and cardigan for my niece’s doll. I LOVE the sweater! It’s shorter in the front, so it tapers to a longer length in the back when you sew it up. The zig zaggy lace pattern is super cute. I want one in my size!!! The knit grey dress is from Pixie’s Bumper pattern package.
