What an excuse to sew one! But I recently bought the same Gene doll as you as well as a Tyler Wentworth. Tyler came without an outfit, so what better excuse to play dolls and make one for her. I get to research and design an outfit in much the same way I do for myself. Have a look at the outfit I made for my 1950's doll on my blog if you get a moment: http://lizziesartycrafty.blogspot.com/2010/12/dolls-finished-dress-capelet-for-my.html<br />Looking forward to seeing the outfits you make for your doll.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992557498807791164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891587047334551451.post-56209690813145188542010-12-17T18:31:04.199-07:002010-12-17T18:31:04.199-07:00You go Nancy!

We lived in our mother's home town in Kansas while our dad was overseas, and our aunts sewed and knitted fabulous outfits for them. That is how I learned to sew!Terri Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664663692345724425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891587047334551451.post-13957730318363639682010-12-17T18:09:16.738-07:002010-12-17T18:09:16.738-07:00Have fun with Gene!

I don't "play" with them any more, but I still like to set them around, especially at Christmas.SewingLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884510117234994583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891587047334551451.post-58348889962342732162010-12-17T08:27:34.536-07:002010-12-17T08:27:34.536-07:00My sister and I love dolls too.
