Stitches | October 2026

 My Grandma bought this cute little doll for my baby girl. She loves it!

I quickly whipped up a skirt.
I hand stitched the entire thing. 
There is one seam in the back.
I folded the raw edge over twice to make a hem at the bottom edge.
I folded the top edge down once and stitched it in place with a running stitch.
I pulled the thread when I finished the running stitches in order to gather the top edge of the skirt a little bit.

Then I whip stitched the skirt onto the doll body at the waistline. 

Tada! Isn't she cute?

So much cuter and more feminine with a skirt. Good job, Mama!
