MHD Designs....Doll Clothing patterns
Whilst browsing for patterns for my granddaughters new doll I stumbled upon this site and I am smitten (insert large heart). Just look at these beauties I want them all!!!! These patterns are for an 18" doll but she has many other sizes to choose from. Descriptions are from Magalie's Website
Here is a different, but very classy look for our Kaye Wiggs girls! It may seem like it is somewhat more advanced than some of my other patterns with all of the ruffles and button loops, but I show a very easy way to make the mini-pleat ruffles (with a video on YouTube!) and I really want you to keep in mind that all you need to do is sew one seam at a time. Your girl will be stunning!
This ensemble is light and fresh, just in time for Spring, and it's light enough for Summer as well. Easy to sew, requiring only two contrasting cotton on linen fabrics, I know that you will enjoy creating your own interpretation of "Ray Of Sunshine" for your girl!
I've always the look of a school ensemble, so here is one for our girls with a jacket and pleated skirt. It can be for school, or you can use the jacket with jeans, and the skirt with a knit top... I also include pattern pieces for a longer jacket if you'd like to have more of a "coat" look. Have fun sewing!
This original pattern is for an Princess Line Collarless Flared Coat with gathered 3/4 length sleeves. The coat is adjusted at the waist and gradually widens to a full skirt. It is wonderfully complimented by the "50's Look" halter dress with a princess line cut, which features a sculpted bow at the bust line and a full skirt of gathered panels.
This dress design includes a tulle underskirt attached to the bodice lining. The Race Day Hat has a fabric "button" covered gathered crown and is decorated at the front with a double bow. This design is wonderfully fun to sew, and you'll love how your girls look in the finished ensemble!

Our Land Island Backwater Resort.. India
A great 90 minute walk with Radeesh one morning when he identified and showed us lots of birds. Followed the next day with a great little trip up the narrow backwaters in a canoe which gave us access to areas you would never see in a bigger boat.
Overall an outstanding experience for 2 nights - and we would have happily stayed a little longer though there is little to do other than kickback and relax.

Some Goodies from India...
Well I had to ditch most of my clothes in order to bring all these gorgeous goodies back with me... I normally dislike..... hate shopping but when it comes to materials I am in my element. I fell in love with the printing blocks made from Mango wood which I found in Fort Cochi, and one day I hope to get round to using them. I can't wait to get crafting again.
