I love the ...Oh, your doll fashions are fantastic! I love the leopard one. I have some Vogue fashion doll patterns that are scaled down real patterns from the 40's and 50's for Barbie type dolls. Haven't tried to make them yet.<BR/><BR/>I like to make rag rugs out of old denim and old clothing of any sort. That keeps me very busy. Neighbors drop off bags and bags of old clothes that are worn out or out of style for me to cut up.<BR/><BR/>My crowning sewing achievement was making my own Scottish kilt.<BR/><BR/>Somebody gave me a length of acrylic red/orange and white and navy plaid material from the 60's to cut up for a rag rug. I thought it was too nice to cut up, and thought and thought, and finally decided to make a kilt. I already owned two acrylic/wool kilts that I bought in Scotland years ago and studied them to see how to make one. I didn't have to take them apart, because a kilt doesn't really need a pattern.<BR/><BR/>Ironing in all those back pleats was a hassle, but the plaid material helped to line everything up ok. I now wear it to church.<BR/><BR/>Keep sewing, Helen. You are a real pro!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816096081381689162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633085175536982087.post-65227297438629768622009-02-16T10:17:00.000-06:002009-02-16T10:17:00.000-06:00I'm so excited to watch your garden progress!

Hood (Copperas Cove is where we lived while stationed there) and Shepherd AFB in Wichita Falls, and started a church in Tyler.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816096081381689162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633085175536982087.post-25385032585427001272009-02-13T10:05:00.000-06:002009-02-13T10:05:00.000-06:00Wow!
