PAMMY -- READY FOR LIFE

Here's Pammy -- ready to go to her little mistress, Emmy, who has just turned two.

If I may provide a pattern review, I was a little disappointed in the outcome. I suppose I overstuffed Pammy. I think she was meant to be little more than a two-dimensional doll. And now her clothes fit snuggly when they should be loose. I even cut the sleeper a little beyond the cutting lines, and it's still snug. But -- especially when dressed in her minky sleeper, she's very soft and cuddly.

Pammy is still with me. We have learned that Emmy's big brother, Jack, is coming for a week's stay next Friday, July 16. I'm sure Pammy can slip into a corner of Jack's bag for the trip back to Denver. Who knows? Maybe I'll make another diaper set. I really think I could improve on some of the stitching methods suggested in that pattern. I may be out of practice, but I remember a thing or two about making little articles of clothing.

Oh cute, cute, cute!! She'll love snuggling up to Pammy. :-) Is the diaper set made of flannel? If so, it will be cuddly, too. I so loved making doll clothes!

How fun that Jack is coming. And he'll make the perfect delivery man.

I love her sleeper. That fabric is great!

I love the material the sleeper is made out of also!

I'm building my stash -- one remnant at a time from the remnant rack at Jo-Ann. One of the cashiers there hates to see me coming. She doesn't like to do the math.

The remnants are an inexpensive way to experiment with fabrics I might otherwise shy away from.

Today is another cleaning day for us: dusting, mopping, cleaning out cupboards, etc. I'd rather write, sew, read -- but I have to admit we've made some inroads and the house is better organized.

Are there photos and I'm not able to see them? This happened about a month ago...for some reason I couldn't see any photos posted on Blogger.

Just one photo of Pammy in her white sleeper. I'm sorry you can't see it. Things have been a little strange with Blogger lately. . .

Julie-Ann,
Go to tools-interent options-advanced-scroll down to multi media and make sure the "show pictures" box is checked.
