This month I needed a break from quilting and wanted to make something for my doll! I had a long-sleeve camo kid's shirt that was too small for my boys and instead of throwing it away, I bought this pattern from Pixie Faire to make an Army uniform! I used up eeeeevery inch of fabric in that shirt and it was just barely enough! In fact, I didn't actually have quite enough to line the inside of the cap, but I made it work anyway.
I think it turned out great! I also made a rucksack out of some scraps of black canvas. I was inspired by the big green bags my parents had when they were in the Coast Guard. I want to make some cute duffel bags and backpacks for my dolls too, but I haven't had a chance to play around with it much yet. This rucksack was just the beginning! I also think this uniform would look cool in all black, like a SWAT or FBI type uniform. It also makes me want to make a Star Trek uniform for my dolls!
Jack helped me take the pictures for this project too! I has been raining nonstop here in Central Texas for the past few weeks so I haven't had a lot of opportunities to take photos of my projects. On top of that, I had two kids with Strep Throat last week and now I'm not feeling so hot. :( Hopefully I can get my butt in gear again soon though, because HALLOWEEN IS COMING! I have big plans!!
