I decided to make some doll clothes for my youngest while she was at her dad's and surprise her with a whole new wardrobe. Um, yeah, didn't quite turn out like I planned.
First, I forgot how long it takes me to make doll clothes. It took over two hours to make this pair of pants!
I picked this pant pattern so I could try 3 new skills: drawstring waist, eyelet installation, and pockets. Ambitious to say the least.
I eventually gave up on the pockets. The eyelets went well, but drawstrings proved challenging. The ones on the cuffs ended up being decorative only. No function whatsoever. The drawstring waist works, but it took several tries to get it setup correctly.
Lesson learned: do not take on such a challenging project without help from an experienced sewer.
Ultimately, my daughter won't care that the pants are a little less than perfect.
Making memories sometimes comes requires a little trial and error.
