“Is it all most time for me to do my routine?”

This is the question I’ve been hearing all week long. 

Between me and you, she’s not quite there yet but she’s been working really hard for her upcoming ballet recital.

A for effort!

Let’s go checkout what she’s been up to.

This Month’s Sewing Motto:
A skill is hard before it becomes easy.

It’s okay to make mistakes in the beginning

– Giovanni Dienstmann

Dolly Sewing Crush: Araki Sawako Project #3

For the 3rd project we wanted to add a dash of elegance to Hina-chan’s look, so we went to page 19 in Obitsu 11 Pattern Textbook: 11cm Size Girl Clothes and discovered a charming Tutu (Pannier).

In 2 steps you can transform your doll into a beautiful ballerina.

The directions for the Tutu are written in Japanese and include images so you can visually see the step by step instructions.

Tutu from Obitsu 11 Pattern Textbook: 11cm Size Girl Clothes page 19

Your Layout For Sewing Success

Here is your blueprint for making the Tutu:

The Tutu

  • Fold fabric in half length wise
  • Sandwich the elastic between the fabric
    • Sew next to the elastic
  • Gather the fabric to the length of the doll’s waist
  • Make a knot

Hurrah, the Tutu is complete!

I’m ready for my routine!
Oh no, I forgot my routine.

Final Thoughts:

Oh dear it looks like Hina-chan needs a little more practice before she’ll nail her routine.

At least she looks cute though . . .

Now, if only I can keep my balance
On second thought, I’ll just use the wall

Dolly Insider Skill Level Rating:

Beginner Friendly

Skill Level: 1 Sewing Pins

This project was short and sweet just like Hina-chan.

See you next week for the final Araki Sawako Project
