American Girl Skirt, Shirt, and Hat.

I decided to use up some sock yarn I had won a while back and had no use for as I don't make socks. I found a free pattern for a crochet skirt at ABC Knitting that required fingering yarn here. I tried the matching top, but found I couldn't get the fit right, so I adapted a favorite dress pattern to make a top. I did use the free hat pattern found here.

I love it when I can add another outfit to my donation pile and use up yarn that is taking up valuable space in my yarn room.

American Girl City Chic

This was another one of Tara Cousin's designs that I bought as a set. You can purchase this one here.

This was another situation where I loved the body of the dress, but the neck was more challenging to get a fit that would fit over the doll's body and still look correct on the shoulders. I loved the idea of creating a dress that required no buttons or other forms of connections, but I still found the neck to be tight.

The Mary Jane shoes were a cute addition to the outfit and the purse was also a nice accessory.

The designer made the original in grey, I wanted a happier color so I went with blue and yellow.

American Girl Ice Princess Elsa Inspired Dress

I've been busy working on my doll donation project and once again fallen behind on posting my projects. Last month I used some of my birthday money to purchase some new doll patterns. I bought a pattern set from Tara Cousins and the first one I finished was the Elsa inspired dress that can be purchased here.

While I like the look of her outfits, I do find the collars a challenge to get them to fit correctly. I've been playing with reworking them to get them to fit as I've worked on the projects. The rest of the outfit was fun to put together and worked up nicely.

I thought it would be fun to have one of the more popular themes included in my donation this year.

Thanks to donations from Crochetville friends from Canada and Florida this is going to be an amazing donation this year. I'm looking forward to contacting the director of the program when school resumes next month.
