World Doll Day!

The second Saturday in June is World Doll Day, started by famous doll collector, Mildred Seeley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildred_Seeley).  We celebrated by doing a little sewing for our dolls, and a kit we had preordered from Doll Project (https://www.etsy.com/shop/DollProject) had arrived just in time!  Doll Project has many great kits for smaller dolls and tutorials for sale on her Etsy site, and she also has a newsletter with free tutorials.  This was the first time we had tried her kits, and we will definitely buy again.  The dress designs are very cute, and the instructions were nice and clear.  Each kit comes with two dresses, a pair of socks and a matching soft toy to make.  Janet made the dresses and socks, and Kairi tried her hand at making a doll from one of the kits, and did a great job!  She liked it so much she took some of the extra fabric and made a few pillows for her dolls.  Below are pictures of our handiwork.
