Hat to Hem | Anne Shirley & Laura Ingalls: Making Doll Dresses Inspired By Their Costumes @HattoHem | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I'm making doll dresses for two of my favorite childhood literary characters: Anne Shirley and Laura Ingalls. The dresses for theses dolls are inspired by the costumes in Anne of Green Gables and Little House on the Prairie. How long has this been in the works? Two weeks since I started sewing, six years since I bought the fabric, and over two decades since I fell in love with these characters! Each dress should fit an 18-inch doll, and they were specifically made to fit American Girl Dolls. Making these doll dresses was a lot of fun, and it makes me so happy to know I'm able to share this project with you!
