Anyway, I later learned to sew from that one and another doll pattern. My aunt made the view F jumpsuit in turquoise taffeta my dolls. I loved it.Jen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168401135498974644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-12453931301898821022015-01-15T08:35:32.090-08:002015-01-15T08:35:32.090-08:001250 is gorgeous for an evening dress! 1278 blous...1250 is gorgeous for an evening dress! 1278 blouse view b with the higher neckline looks so elegant.
