Belated Gifts

These were Christmas gifts for my cousins; they never got sent. When they came for my sisters wedding, I pulled them out of the bag they'd been sitting in and hand delivered them.
I never quite know what to do for the California bunch. I figured that they most likely had a kitchen set, so I pulled out my Tasty Crochet book and whipped up some ice cream sandwiches. For some reason they all came out different sizes.

 For my dear little North Carolina cousin, you may remember that I made a doll for her a  few years ago. I finally finished the next outfit! The pattern is McCalls Craft 4333. The pattern is out of print, and I can't find a link for it. Katrina kindly modeled the outfit for me, even though it is rather large for her.

Sophie Cloth Doll

I made this doll for my cousin in NC for her first birthday. The pattern is McCalls 4186 and is part of a set of six patterns. I would not recommend these for beginner sewers - they looked like good 'teaching' patterns, and very simple. I had a lot of trouble with what I've done so far, and I'm very glad I have some experience in making dolls and doll clothes. The middle picture is a nightgown, and the far right is a collar that goes over the nightgown. These were Christmas presents I couldn't blog about until now. The heart on the collar was done with my Mom's embroidery sewing machine; I didn't have time to embroider it by hand.
