Colette asked me to make her a few things, and I've finished the first part. These are all upcycled T-shirts. Some from shirts that she mailed to me and some from my stash. I love upcycling clothing, the comfort of knowing the fabrics aren't going to bleed onto the dolls limbs is very reassuring. One of the shirts was a super stretchy rib knit, very difficult to work with. I did my best but the hem is a tiny bit flared on the mushroom brown shirts. I steamed the daylights out of it with my iron and it's as good as I can make it. Colette has certain plans for some of these shirts, I chose threads to complement those.
All of the shirts at a glance.
The light blue, it's not this light in person..
The plain mushroom brown shirt.
Deep dark blue.
Coral pink V-neck.
Mushroom brown with yellow contrast stitching.
I bought a few embroidery designs from urbanthreads.com I'm very happy with these, they stitch out nicely and are quite unique.
First is a little monster for my son's school shirt, sorry about the flash.
A shirt for my husband to wear to his Dungeons and Dragons game tonight. He plays regularly with friends.
Thanks for looking! Watch for part 2 of Colette's order later this week.

Hi erin! I've been looking at your blog for quite a long time. and I've been seeing all this cool stuff you make by sewing :D I think these doll t-shirts are adorable and I was wondering If you had an etsy or If I had any possible way of purchasing them? :D Have a wonderful day !
Hi there, I don't currently have an etsy shop but I would like to start one up one day. I'm not currently making any doll clothes though, I have one order to finish up and then I'm switching gears for a long while. Thank you for enjoying my blog :)
