I am super excited about my latest pattern. I wanted to make something that combined both eras—Samantha from 1904, and Courtney from 1986. I’ve already had some photo shoots that I posted and had many people asking about the pattern.  I wasn’t quite finished with it, as I had a marvelous plan to get another Samantha doll and curl her hair like Courtney’s.  More on that in a separate post. I found the fabric at Hobby Lobby.  It’s homespun fabric, so it already has that vintage charm.   About the dress: Bring two iconic eras together with this charming vintage-inspired dress for your 18-inch doll! Blending the timeless elegance of Samantha's Edwardian era with the bold nostalgia of Courtney's 1980s world, this festive design features a fitted bodice with a delicate white lace collar, long sleeves finished with pretty lace trim, and a full gathered skirt accented with white lace trim. A luxurious black velvet sash with an oversized bow adds a touch of old-fashioned soph...

  This Bubble Romper pattern has been requested for a while by several different people, and I have finally finished it! For some reason, my brain went completely blank when I tried to figure out how to make this pattern. I finally decided to purchase an original Bubble Romper from the 80s so I could study how it was constructed. Once I had it in front of me, everything finally clicked—and I finished the pattern in no time! They turned out so cute! I had so much fun trying it out in different fabrics. I also learned something new while making these: how to join lace pieces together to create one continuous piece. I followed a YouTube video by Susan Stewart . The lace I used was purchased at Homesew, which is closed, but bulk lace can be found at Cheep Trims. The pattern can be found at cpkdiana.etsy.com .
