90 + Doll making Videos


Have you visited my YouTube Channel?


A Friend of Mine contacted me on Facebook and told me she had been to visit my Youtube channel, she had a question for me. 
I ask her what her question was and she said
"I have seen your channel and I 
want to know,  Why did you 
Make SO Many 
videos."

The following video is my reply

I still love these dolls all these years later. 

This summer I expect to go back to making
some dolls.  (Probably not 600 like last time I was making dolls)

Maybe my sewing machine will be 
willing to talk to me again after this 
long rest. 

Please leave a comment and let me know if you have any questions or replies. 

I love all my followers and look 
forward to hearing 
from you again. 

Hugs. 

Peggy  aka.  Jeanlee

Elleia is dressed!



A little Samoan doll needs sandals so here they are!




Now she is all dressed and ready to go!




Thanks Linda for this fabric. It is perfect!
Michael if you are looking let us know if this will work. Love you Brother!!!

Ruth, this is so cute. The fabric worked up great and I love the sandals. Hope you like it Mike! Ruth, when you are out and about keep your eyes open for pink and dark green separating zippers. I need one of each color, doesn't matter how long to go in the front of sweater vests I've made, but I can't find zippers for them. We only have one store in town that sells sewing notions so the selection is pretty picked over. Thanks. Love y'all. Linda

I have a funny kind of outlet fabric store here that seems to have alot of that kind of stuff. I will check Monday and let you know.
Ruth

Just some clothes



I had these leggings and wanted to make something to go with them to have a complete outfit so we added a red turtleneck and blue skirt.



Probably needs a belt, and still some shoes.... but this is good for today.
 ok, I tried to post this on the clothing page and it still posted on the home page.
 You'll have to teach me how to do that. Ruth

Leisel Clothes

.




Under-dress and embroidery on the cute Jumper Linda made. I don't have the hat, as it is at mom's. It's ok for today. I think I figured out how to make boots that lace up which would be very cute on boy dolls. I let you know when I get them made.

Ruth, I love it. The embroidery really sets it off. Is it white or off-white? I think the purse for this should be whatever color the embroidery is. What do you think?? Linda

It's off white: a very light cream. I think it needs a purse and the hat that mom has. Ruth

LOLLY



It's LOLLY...... she has all yarn hair..... it is sewn onto her head in three sections... It is longer than I had originally planned....... but I know there will  ALWAYS be *little girls with scissors practicing beauty school*
                                                                               LOL
Another day ...............................................................................................................Another doll

Oh, she's as cute as can be!   And did Ruth sew the shirt and skirt?   I love her hair.  She is perfect.  Is her body stuffed with wool?


I can't wait to get together and try making my very own.  BTW - is she made out of the same new Weir fabric?  Alyce

Her outfit is one I purchased before christmas but I thought she would look cute in it.  she is stuffed with polyfill.  I am finally getting low on  wool.
she is covered with the fabric from weir but is a little different shade.  I think she is cut too. 
BTW  morning sis, how are you feeling?


Her outfit makes her look like a real little girl, standing up so straight!  LOL Alyce

RJ Clothes







Here are the shirt, cargo pants and shoes for RJ doll. I think they match the sweater nicely, and hopefully the hat with ears you made Peggy. Ruth

Oh so cute.   I love the clothes.  Very well done!   I love the sweater, love the pants and the shirt!
You do know he is going to fly on Etsy, right?  Alyce

Sunbonnet Dress





I had so much fun making a sunbonnet for the Latoya doll I had to make one more. Here it is with a summer jumper and sandals. Think Summer!

Do you have an Idea who this outfit is for? by the way I think you had great success with the sandals! Well the entire outfit is cute as can be!

No idea! Just had fun making it.... We'll see. Ruth

Kids and Their Toys







You knew she was gonna try to ride it........... The horse turned out very well. I am gonna make more!

I love that wool horse! He's very cute with the doll! VERY CUTE! Hope you're having a nice Sunday! I sure am. Love, Alyce




BTW - I love your light box for photos! Suggestion Turn the box so it is opposite of the window.


Stand with the window at your back facing the light box when you take the photo, being careful not to create a shadow from your body, see if that helps the lighting. I think it will. Very nice! Love, Alyce

Clothes for LaToya



Here are some clothes for the Latoya Doll. She is wearing the apricot sweater from Linda and has striped leggings. Do you think the lace up shoes are to heavy for the outfit... I can use them on the RJ Doll. This one has been a struggle as couldn't find the fabric I wanted, but I think this print goes nice with the sweater. Under the sweater is a yellow pull over shirt.




Here she is with yellow striped leggings, again, hard time deciding what works best, I think the darker ones.


Yellow shirt to match leggings.


Mom and Dad!!!! Notice the glasses.




these are very cute.   I really like the fabric you chose for the little dress. 
And DAD with Mrs. Clause's glasses is a *hit*.   I love it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR......

Hansel and Gretel and LaToya




Peggy, is Gretel the first doll you have done her hips this way? Does she sit better? When you get the Lorinda clothes I mailed yesterday please try them on Gretel to see how they fit especially the leggings so I know for patterns. Then let me know. Cute! Ruth







These are really cute, Peg. The hair is amazing. I think you have it figured out. Do the legs take very long to make when you make them moveable? Can the doll sit up by herself with them? What kind of clothes are you thinking for them? Love ya, Linda


I had forgotten I have the tan skin fabric still to use. So now we have Hansel, Gretel and Latoya. Gretel has moveable arms and legs. I really do like the *finished* look this doll has. She looks almost like she is not made of fabric! Ahhhhh I love the *joy of creation*.
errrrr successful creation .....LOL


Peggy, are the legs skinnier on these dolls as I will need to know that for leggings or pantiloons, or knickers or whatever. The hands look better proportioned to the fingers. Nice. Oh fun.... I spent the afternoon at the DI and Goodwill looking for old knit shirts I could cut up for fabric as it's almost nearly impossible to buy knit in the stores here. Also found a dress with some buttons I could use and looked for small zippers, buckles etc but no luck just yet. Oh... the fun of it all! Also have you thought of making a sunbonnet for your pioneer women doll? It might finish her a bit and maybe an apron. Hope you are feeling better and you too Alyce! Congratulations on the new GRAND baby! Nice talking to you last night Linda! Oh, Linda I was thinking about Leisel and wondered if you had any ideas for her clothes yet. Think on her and we can share ideas Monday on our call. Hope you all have a great day! Love ya bunches! Ruth

It's our DAD doll



Here he is.  this is the doll Linda, Ruth and I created for our Mother for christmas this year.  I think he turned out pretty well.

He is amazing!  Perfect.   I love the suspenders.   You are both amazing! (Alyce)

He is awesome.  i made the doll but Linda and Ruth took that to a complete new level.  Linda made the shoes,shirt and tie.  Ruth made the pants, coat and suspenders.  Mom told me tonight that she found a pair of glasses that looks like the ones DAD used to wear and he has them on.  Yep, a perfect joint effort.







Josie update





We now have a white t-shirt, tighter leggings and scrunchy socks and purse. I think she needs a knitted felted purse instead of this one. Can you do it Linda? Also the pink sweater needs to be 5 inches when measured at the buttons from the neckline to the bottom of the sweater. Then it will end right above the ruffle. OK, any other suggestions? Let me know otherwise I'll stick this in the mail to you Peggy. See if it will work on the Lorinda doll . I am working on a poka-dot jumper with leggings for Latoya. Ruth
This is the cutest ever.   See I knew you could do it.   She/he LOL is just right.  I love the scrunchy sox.  and the purse is too awesome.   and the white long sleeve top is perfect.  I think with a matching pink and purple necklace and bracelet she will be set!   WA TO GO RUTH!   YOU ROCK!  DON'T QUIT.  KEEP IT UP.   I SEE A NEW CLOTHING LINE FOR CHILDREN COMING UP!


OH My!   She is so cute!   How in the world did you make those shoes?   The leggings are perfect. (Alyce)
