“Is it almost 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 check out 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

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.
Your Layout For Sewing Success
Here is your blueprint for making the Tutu:
The Tutu
- Fold fabric in half lengthwise
- 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!
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 . . .
Dolly Insider Skill Level Rating:
