It's a Beautiful Day...

Every Wednesday I participate in a Doll Clothes Makers and Lovers Facebook challenge.

We get a theme on Sunday in the group and then i make an outfit based on the theme.

Many of the members make clothes to sell, so they post what they have made in the past.

I have chosen not to sell my doll clothes at this time or share past outfits in the group (yet).

I don't feel like having that pressure to sell too.

Today's challenge is to use 3 different fabrics.

I have used:

Love From Lola Pattern - A Pocket for My Posies

I chose to add sleeves, shorten the hem and add a strip to match the bodice and sleeves, i also didn't add the pockets.

Thanks for stopping by!
