Entry #1

Dear Dolly Friends,

Welcome to Day 1 of the Dolly Sewalong Diaries: Shift Dress by Waffle Patterns.

Today is all about gathering supplies and choosing fabric for our doll.

I downloaded the Shift Dress pattern here, went to my sewing stash for fabric and grabbed a few sewing tools to complete today’s task.

Fabric I chose:

  • Outer: Quilting cotton
  • Lining: Lawn cotton 

Tools I chose:

  • Iron
  • Tracing Paper
  • Tracing Wheel
  • Turning Tool (Forceps)
  • Pins
  • Point Turner
  • Scissors
  • Fray Check
  • Waffle Patterns
  • Extra Paper (For machines that “eat” up small pieces of fabric)
  • Hook & loop (Not Pictured)

Here is an image of the fabrics and tools I gathered.

Diary Entry From:

Since I just realized (at 10pm, bedtime) this started today, I didnt get further than downloading the pattern to my phone.

I have some fabric in mind, and since I sew frequently, have the other materials on hand to make the dress.

What I need to do tommorow is resize the pattern since I have a Middie Blythe.gurliebot

Oh how neat gurliebot, we look forward to seeing how your Middie Blythe looks in this outfit. -Kat & Tatyana
