Kelly Pink Dress
I had originally intended this to be Kelly's Valentine's dress and was going to mail it out with my Valentine's package. However a funny thing happened on the way to getting my Valentine's packages ready. I had a guest on New Year's Eve who informed me while she had a Kelly doll, the doll had no clothes. This dress was finished unlike the top that needed a snap, so it went off to a new home. I will have to make another one to ship out.
This is actually the overall pattern I discussed in the previous blog. The free pattern is available here. Instead of breaking for the legs I continued the skirt by adding stitches to give the dress a wider skirt. It is fun to see what you can do with these patterns.

Too cute! What lovely work. :) I wish I had talents like that.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink.
too cute!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me wish that my daughter was a grly girl, at least to some degree. She doesn't do the whole Barbie thing. She'd rather play with Bakugans and Beyblades.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. My crochet stitches never turn out that uniform!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! How long does it take you to complete something like that?
ReplyDeleteThis dress was fairly quick because the pattern was fairly simple it worked up quickly. The pants took longer because the pattern required more effort to make the legs.
