DIY American Girl Doll Outfit (Peplum skirt)

This week I have really been into creating outfits for Adriana. This is a great way for me to learn some new sewing techniques! So today I'm bringing you an outfit I made without a pattern {for the skirt at least}!!! I'm so proud of myself, I think this outfit came out great.

For the shirt I used a pattern from Liberty Jane Pattern, which was free and you can find it here. This pattern is FREE!!!! There are a few other free patterns there, along with others for sale. 

I'm even thinking of going as far as making myself a cute little skirt like this lol. It was actually pretty easy to make and super fun too. I;m having a lot of fun learning to make things, especially because by making them I'm saving tons. Gabi also seemed to like the little outfit ^_^.

I made this necklace with some jewelry findings I have laying around and it was simple, just like making a necklace for us, except in a much smaller size. And this lace fabric came from a shirt that was no longer being used. 

Isn't this skirt adorable?

I plan on making another skirt like this for her and I'll attempt to create a tutorial for it. What do you think of this little project?

DIY Party Purse

I've had a pattern from Sew, Mama, Sew! for a while now, {you can find the pattern here} but it wasn't until yesterday that I decided to take that bad boy out and do something with it. Now let me tell you that I'm a beginner when it come to sewing, so I had some challenges making this cute little bag/clutch. 

First off the lining was a little hard to attach {my own inability to do so}, next time I'll use a thinker fabric as lining. Cutting all of the fabric and interfacing took me forever. Omg, this bag in general took me over 2 hours to complete!!!! But I'm learning, and as I went along I discovered easier ways to do things ^_^

So here it is. What do you think of it???
