Dora Dress Up Doll

From clothes for romania

I got a new doll Saturday, She's a Dora Dress Up doll, 15 inches tall of course she was naked and scared!
Her hair is still not in good shape I am afraid of course for pictures she's fine but in her current condition I couldn't send her to Romania, so I'll send the other 2 girls and this one will be rerooted(Some Day).
Been looking at websites that deal with the rerooting thing, so far all I have fiogured out is if you want it to last it'll take a long time or you can do the fast and dirty and try gluing it on the inside of the head,,, hmm something to think about.
Sewed another sweater last night and stretched out the hem really bad, hoping that steaming it will put it back in placed.

New Blog and Current Project

I am excited about sharing my current project with my blogger friends!
I am sending 5 dolls to an orphanage in Romania for Christmas this year.
These dolls I have found at various places, garage sales, thrifts stores and flea markets.

They shall all have extensive wardrobes including shoes and jewelry, I want these little girls to be very excited about their present they receive.

I decided to use refurbished dolls simply because there is so much waste and I also like taking a dirty naked doll and making her look all shiny new again!.

I love sewing and I have been having a great time sewing for the dollies!
More to come!
