Pink Cowgirl Outfits for American Girl doll

I have been wanting to make some cowgirl style outfits for American Girl dolls.  I bought some pink cowgirl print fabric from Wal-mart.  It has a variety of items such as a pink guitar, white and pink cowboy hats, pink cowgirl boots, spur, star badge with the words cowgirl, pink horse shoes, gun holster, pink saddle and rope. I cut out several of the items and used heat n bond and attached to the dolls top. I also appliqued some of the designs onto the flarred denim jeans.  I made two outfits.  I used  Simplicity 4786 for the flarred denim jeans and flarred hot pink pants. These outfits are listed on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/listing/123164819/pink-cowgirl-outfit-for-american-girl-or and https://www.etsy.com/listing/123165934/hot-pink-cowgirl-outfit-for-american

Barbie Doll - Leopard print - Bed in a Box (handmade)

I had seen several post using a photo box as a base for a bed for dolls such as Barbie, Liv, Monster High.  I used a black photo box as the base for the bed, then I used the lid for headboard.  I fastened the headboard with velcro.  You can remove lid and store bedding inside box and put away for storage if needed. Leopard print duck tape used to decorate the headboard.

Handmade matteress sits on top of bed

 A handmade tan flannel bedspread, handmade brown top sheet with leopard ribbon, two handmade pillows, two handmade brown pillow cases, two handmade pale yellow decor/throw pillows.

Show here is the pillow inside of pillow case.

Complete bedding set - "bed in a box"

 

                                          Barbie sleeping in bed.

I am thinking about listing this on Etsy to sell.  My granddaughters love it.  The box is sturdy and I believe it will hold up well.  The good thing is you can put all bedding inside box, put lid on box and store if needed.

Thanks for looking. Please leave comment(s) :)

My love for black and white (zebra print)

 Back view of top and pants

I am a huge fan of black and white. I love the two colors together.  I love zebra print especialy in black and white.  I had some fabric left over from the custom zebra doll/child matching outfit that I did last week and I made this outfit. T-shirt style with knit ruffled pants.  I added lace to the bottom of the shirt.  I love how the pink makes this outfit pop.   I took this outfit to a local Valentine Vendor sale event and it was the first item that sold.  I had a matching purse that sold also. The shirt is made from New Green Mama's shirt pattern and McCalls pattern for pants.

Here is another outfit I have listed on my Etsy store. https://www.etsy.com/listing/122486043/hot-pink-and-zebra-animal-print-ruffled   

Hot pink Capri set with zebra print.  I used New Green Mama's shirt pattern and used Simplicity pattern for the pants.  Cotton fabric
