SUMMER DAYS!

Summertime has come early in Chicago. Last week, we had 50 degree days, and it was 90 degrees yesterday.

 Today is Memorial Day. Our weather makes me feel like summer has actually arrived and is not waiting until June 20th.

 I have been busy making summer outfits and pjs. Here is a sample of what I have. There are dresses, skirt outfits, shorts outfits, rompers, and pjs.

 For those long, hot days. This set was inspired by the idea that I wanted to make a halter top. I thought it would be fun to make an outfit that went from the hot days into cooler nights. It includes peach stripe pants, white shorts, a peach pullover blouse, and the mint halter.


Because summer mostly reminds me of sunshine, I made 7 yellow outfits. I think they will make you smile.









Lightening up a little





Shortie pjs are perfect for summer! 














Plus a ladybug.


My turquoise and green collection. Do they make you feel like lying out on the green grass looking up at the sky?







                 I designed this pattern last year.
Pink like cotton candy. Most little girls like pink. Rosy cheeks, getting a tan...






Added some corals and reds. Summertime is such a fun time to be working with all my florals.




A few purples...





The following four are from my blue bolts of fabric so I could make a lot. 

I wanted to make a crop top and paper bag shorts. The first outfit is my take on that. 


I wanted to try a tie strap with lined bodice. This was pretty time consuming but it was fun!



Going to that 'magical' place this summer?


A pop of color


My perfect 
'shopper' outfits



A few more for those of you who prefer neutrals- calm colors...







I am happy in the summer. Vacation time for me means spending time on the beach, in the ocean, and with family.  Hope your summer is wonderful!

Ebay / Etsy / Amazon Handmade

I started selling on Ebay on January 31,2002. The first thing I made was an embroidered patriotic star denim jacket. I wish I still had a picture of that! I decided that if it sold, I would list two more things. it sold right away! I started I was sewing two things for every one thing that I sold. Everything was handmade by me. Snowsuits were my top seller that year. Soon, I had an e-bay store. I was busy for many years. I started slowing down when I had to start saying "18 doll clothes" instead of using the brand of the doll that I was selling for. I believe that hurt my business because when people would search by brand name, they would not find me. The difficult thing was other people selling handmade clothes were still using the brand name (and still do) while I had my listings pulled. This year, things slowed down so much that I was paying more for fees then I was selling. It is sad to say but I finally decided to shut down my store. -----------------...

Create Doll Clothes with me!

Back from the end of March through the end of May, I was only ordering fabric to pick up. A few weeks ago, I ventured into the fabric store with my mom again.  I ended up going to three stores in three days and purchased these 7 darling cotton girl prints. I had so much fun shopping! What would you make out of them?   Time will tell what my brain dreams up and if I have customer special requests. So---without further ado---here they are.  Went outside in our hot Chicago weather to photo them. Some dresses I have made for the girls.

Isabella- Bubble Romper!

As the weather is warming up, I decided to do some research to see which styles have been selling the fastest on Amazon Handmade. What I discovered was that I had sold out of all my romper styles and all my hair ties.   For fun, I designed this new pattern. It features a pull on style (no velcro) with the darling halter style ties.  The hair tie wraps around the dolls head and ties on. ISABELLA - shorter version  I put elastic around the leg holes. I absolutely love the halter style back! I was in  and decided to make one a little longer by adding a ruffle to the leg.  Isabella - longer version This one gathers in at the leg right before the ruffle. Here they are side by side. Aren't they darling? Now, I am deciding whether to try a boy style bubble romper. Find me on ETSY Find me on Amazon Handmade Happy Memorial Day! Lynnette adorabledolldesigns
