Birthday Present
My wonderful niece was 9 this past weekend and I am late getting her present in the mail. I asked her what she wanted - AG doll clothes or Bratz dolls. She does like the matching outfits. I just finished some pajamas for her and her AG doll. I was going for that boutique look, not quite there but they are pretty cute. I used Ottobre 4/2005, #18, nightgown. I cut it off more at tunic length, made the sleeves short and added some touches. I did make the top a couple of sizes bigger, that pattern is for a knit and pjs are suppose to be comfy not tight. This project went together so quickly, plus I had all the extras I wanted/needed. Pink piping for the yoke, ribbon for the pants, black snaps for the top and all the right widths of elastic. My lucky day! The pants are from a Simplicity Lizzie McGuire pajama pattern. I had cut them on a size 8 line and my niece needs about a 10-12 so, I just graded up.
