Bitty baby doll dress

I mentioned that I have been busy the past few weeks making Christmas gifts.  This is a dress and diaper cover that I made for my Great-niece, Leeann.  It is made to fit her Bitty Baby by American Girl Dolls.  I purchased the pattern and fabric from Joanne’s and I already had the lace and buttons in my stash.

McCalls pattern M4338

I used the McCall’s pattern pictured here.  M4338.  I had so much fun making the dress, it took me back to when I first learned how to sew and would make Barbie Doll clothes.  Maybe that is what I should have made for Leeann.  She is five and out of the mouths of babes came her reaction when she opened her present.

Me:  “The dress if for your Bitty Baby.”

Leeann:  “I don’t really play with her much!”

Gotta love their honesty.  Next year…maybe Barbie clothes!
