DOLL CLOTHES
SALLY'S SEWING FOR SALE
I first learned how to sew, when I was 13 years old.  That was in 1948.  I must admit for a few years it left somethinig to be desired, but after a lot of practice, I think I am pretty good at it.  I really have been collecting dolls all of my life, but I became a doll collector in the sense of it being a hobby not too long after I got married, which was in 1956.  The most fun I have had is sewing for my dolls, and I have deliberately bought dolls who came undressed or had lost their clothes, so that I could dress them.  In 1970, I started making wooden dolls to have yet more dolls to dress.  In 1973 I joined the United Federation of Doll Clubs.  I have also been a member of Friends of Hitty since 1998.
As time goes by, I want to share some of my work by selling it.  I have to use up all the fabrics and things that I have collected over the years too.  From time to time I will have something to offer here.

Here are some of the things I have made in the past.  These have either been sold, or I have made them for myself.
I have made quite a few dresses and things for Hitty, some for myself and some for other people.  These two dresses were made for DeAnn Cote's Hitty Kin and have both been sold.
I made this dress for my own Tiny Kitty Collier.  I like to make dresses with attached petticoats.
I made a Halloween costume for my grandson's Furby.  Furby is a wizard.  His cape is reversible.
