My Life Sailor Dress
I leave myself notes for these projects and overall they work great unless I misread them which happened here. For some reason I thought I was supposed to use the sport yarn for the hat not the Red Heart Super Saver. Live and learn. I have one more Sailor outfit to make for the baby doll. Like the 18 inch dolls I'm going to alternate the Sailor and Sundress patterns for the two dolls rather than making duplicates. So I will use the Red Heart for the hat and the baby sport yarn for the rest of the outfit.
Notes:
I used Baby Bernat Sport White and Red Heart Navy for this project. In the future I'd use Red Heart White for the hat as well.
All items were made with an H hook.
I do have a note that I went to a g hook for the skirt last year, which again clearly I didn't read. I will experiment with this when I make the 16 inch doll outfit as it is a slighter build and the skirt might be a bit wide.
I choose to create the arm holes differently than she does for her patterns. I just find it less complicated.
