Baby Doll Nightgown

In working on adapting the Cabbage Patch outfits to the Mary Maxim soft body 15 Inch dolls it appears the preemies are the closest to the task. I worked on a nightgown pattern called "Purity" from an out of print leaflet, Cabbage Patch Crochet for Preemies from Plaid#8031.

In order to get the fit right I had to play with the hook size to get the body to fit right, but I was able to avoid having to sew buttons or snaps, so it worked for me.

This doll's wardrobe is growing quickly. I'm going to have to find some motivation for working on the 12 inch doll and the 18 inch doll clothes soon. It's hard when I keep finding projects I want to work on for the 15 inch doll.

Baby Doll Top

I love the Mary Maxim 15" soft baby dolls because they do have the soft body. I think it makes for a nice donation doll. The downside is they have the soft body. It makes fitting clothes much more challenging. However, I do eventually get there. This top was the first failed attempt at completing the Girl's Dress pattern Fibre Craft FCM317. I think it makes a cute top and eventually I'll finish the dress at some point. I just need to adapt the pattern to fit the slightly larger padding found on the Mary Maxim doll.
