McKenna getting ready to watch the Kansas City Chiefs

McKenna,  just like everyone in this house, just LOVES to watch a good football game.  She really didn't have anything for game day, so I thought I would whip her up a little outfit in time for kickoff to support the home team.

McKenna's new shorts

McKenna got two new pair of shorts as well.  This pattern took me a bit to adjust and get right.  Both are made from a micro suede fabric.

Pink Shorts

Purple Shorts

I did make the white top as well.  I need to start making her some tops so she has more of a selection.  I know I wouldn't like having just 1 top to go with all my bottoms.  

McKenna's new Tutus

McKenna needed a few more Tutus for her collection, so these were made on two different nights.

I like to call the first one her Christmas tutu.

And then there is a pink and green Tutu.  I love this color combination.

McKenna's new clothes

So, I have been playing around making McKenna some new clothes.  Just trying a few different things.  Thought I would take a few pictures - sounds simple right?  Getting the right lighting and pose is harder than I imagined it would be.  It will be a learning journey.

Here is McKenna in a skirt made from a carnival mask fabric.

Now here she is in her new candy corn skirt.

Of course I had to make the coordinating stripped skirt with candy corn waistband.

Free Standing Masquerade Mask for 18 inch dolls

So, I made McKenna a little skirt with some fabric that I had purchased which had the carnival style masks as the print.  I have been intending to make some skirts for a while.

After I finished the skirt, I remembered some mask embroidery designs that I had digitized a year or so ago, and thought one might be cute as a mask for my American Girl.

I had to adjust the size down, and make sure that the eye holes were where you could see her eyes.  This first mask is full face.  I think that any future ones I digitize will be half face.  I mainly wanted to see if it was possible.

I should have coordinated the color of this stitch out more with the colors in the fabric.  It was fun and I think unique.

American Girl Embroidered Apron (Take 2)

This is the second iteration of the chef's apron for American Girl dolls.

This one requires a larger than 5x7 hoop.  The Cupcake is about 2 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches, but the outline of the apron is larger than 5x7.

I think this is an improvement over the last iteration.

American Girl Embroidered Apron

Trying to incorporate some embroidery designs into things for American Girl Dolls.

Here is a first attempt at a mainly  ITH (in the hoop) project to create a chef's apron for the dolls.  This one is sized for 5x7 Hoops, there is a larger size for the 8x12 hoops as well.

Was wondering if it was worth the effort to continue to develop this line?

American Girl Doll Clothes - alternate skirt

I thought that this green fabric went with the pink from the Pretty In Pink outfit, so I started playing around with mixing and matching.

Why shouldn't McKenna, or any other American Girl, have a wardrobe of mix and match seperates?

Here McKenna models her Pretty In Pink outfit.  I designed this cute little skirt and top when I saw the fabric as I thought it would be a stand out outfit.  What do you think, does McKenna rock this or what?
