Ok, technically I finished this piece at 2am the next day, but given the fact that I made shoes from a pattern for the first time and they almost worked, I'm going to cut myself a little slack. :P
Today's project ended up becoming tomorrow's project when Madison showed up in the mail today. I usually don't like to order these dolls online if I can help it, but Madison seems to be not stocked at any of my local stores, so I had to order her... unfortunately she came with oily skin (not as bad as the last Maria I got, but it's still a little noticeable) and the areas around her eyes were not properly cleaned of the oil (which I need to get the guts to fix later on), but I'm still very happy with her.
Anyway, onto today's project... I made a four piece outfit including a shirt, pants, shoes and headband.
With every time I work with these patterns I get a little better. I suppose practice really does make perfect (although I'm a long way from perfect).
The shoe pattern is from Liberty Jane and meant for an American Girl and it really shows. >< I ended up adding the strap to the shoes to hold it on better. I'm still really happy with the results, especially for my first time using the pattern.
One day left to go! I hope I can make it! :D
