The week has finally arrived!
It’s time for Hina-chan’s performance.
For 3 weeks she’s been practicing, prancing, and posing.
We’re so proud of her, let’s go cheer her on!
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 #4
A ballerina’s look isn’t complete without some Ballerina Shoes (Flats).
Thankfully on page 91 in Obitsu 11 Pattern Textbook: 11cm Size Girl Clothes, a lovely pair of Ballerina Shoes was waiting.
Walk 10 steps . . . I mean complete 10 steps and you can have a brand new pair of Ballerina Shoes for your doll.
The directions for the Ballerina Shoes are written in Japanese and include images so you can visually see the step by step instructions.

Here is your blueprint for making the Ballerina Shoes:

Dolly Insider Skill Level Rating:
Beginner-Intermediate Friendly
The Ballerina Shoes are easy to make but it was challenging due to the small size!
If you managed to complete it, it’s a wonderful sense of accomplishment.
And That’s A Wrap!
It looks like another Dolly Sewing Crush is in the books!
Hina-chan and I had a blast showcasing her ballerina inspired look and we hope you did too.
