your so cute and everybody wants to see you in your new dress ;)

ros

she's so gorgeous - is she going to have any brothers and sisters?

Bronwen

Oh she is just too cute!

Sue

What a great tutuorial. I think I shall be using some of your guidelines to make some little dresses for my daughter's dolls. How cute is she in that dress, even if she is shy.

Joy

That is an excellant tutorial, and such lovely material. Ruby looks adorable

Shar

What a lovely little dress - thank
you for the wonderful tutorial...

Kimberly Sherrod

What a wonderful tutorial! Thank you for posting that- I'd much rather not have to make hems- plus the added treat of making it reversable! Very nice! Ruby is such a sweet girl! Maybe she will get a whole new wardrobe!

myra

Wow! Fantastic tutorial,thanks so much!!

Laurie

Thank you!! I'm making a doll as a Christmas gift and needed a dress just like this!! This is perfect.

sally

Ruby, you are too sweet. Hope we will see more of you. Your dress is so cute. I would love one in my size. =)

Sarah

I wanted to let you know that I finally received my copy of The Crafter's Companion, and what you said/wrote was lovely. I found it very inspiring, and your scrappy list purse is on my to-do list!

Neta

Ruby is such a lovely doll.

melly and me

Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial. Ruby is delicious and so is her dress.

dani (pyglet)

You are a genius! Ruby is amazingly cute...
Thanks for the great tutorial!

debs

Oh, look at Ruby peeking out from behind her hands! Your dollies and critters have so much life, you really are the modern day Blue Fairy! Great tutorial - thank you for sharing your wonderful gifts!

Anna H.

Oh, thank you, Lyn! You have no idea how many weird little doll dresses I've made that don't work -- but this pattern (and your directions) are great -- I'm inspired!

I really like how this dress is reversible. I think it would appeal to a child to be able to change the look of the doll and it certainly appeals to me because it avoids teensy tiny seams that I'm bound to mess up!

Meredith

brilliant! thanks so much for sharing that. i am making a doll for my daughter for xmas and i love that little dress. ruby is adorable!

erin

Ruby, you are too much!

kathy

Your worksmanship is impeccable. Thanks for giving us a peek.

lauray

Oh that is a wonderful piece of work! An irrevisble dress! Thanks for sharing!

Miss Dot

that is a great tutorial! it even tempts me to try it and I don't have any nude dollies waiting on clothes! hey, did you get my email regarding the pendant? quite likely I forgot to send it! argg.

Snowbear

Thanks for the tutorial; now can you explain it again for those of us (just me probably) who don't understand sewing terms?
heh heh--
I'm so confused.
and dazed.
and confused. Not you, my dear, it's me. I'm a total novice, dont'cha know?
see you on Friday, I'll be waiting...

Helen

This is brilliant! Thank you for this tutorial.

nadège

Absolutely brilliant - and I wouldn't mind a coat like that either. Many thanks.
Carolyn

Sue

Thank you for the tutorial.
It is very easy to read..... and understandable......
and darling!

sooz

ohhh lovely lovely lovely! Thank you for the tutorial - you'd not be thinking of doing one for a Ruby-esque doll too would you? She's just perfect!!

Kitty

oh Ruby I LOVE YOU and wish to take you home.

Plus, that is a smashing frock and an excellent tutorial.

fleur

Thank You!!! I have little girls at home, oh ruby is so nice!

mj

Wow- that's amazing. What a clever idea!

Cherry Menlove

Oh yes, I too would like a coat like that! I'm sorry Ruby is shy. She looks so pretty in that darling little coat. I really can't handle this much cuteness in the afternoon (please don't stop with the cuteness EVER by the way)!
Cherry xx

Robin

What an adorable dress/coat! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

tyn

YOU are amazing.

Rebecca

Oh my goodness, you are a genius. I hate the teeny hem thing and all my dolls clothes end up looking shabby and fraying due to poor tiny hems. I love you, I am going to adopt this format for all the dolls clothes now, we will have the best dressed dolls ever and of course children love reversible clothes. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

heidi

i am in love with your tutorials babe! love ruby. love the dress. must try both now. thanks!

nova

Thank you for the tutorial! Ruby and her dress are the cutest things I have seen in a while!

Mama Urchin

You make it look so easy!

christy

oh my... she's so adorable!

*jenny

Brilliant! Did you think up this technique? Its so clever. And shy Miss Ruby is so cute! Your dolls always have so much personality. Well done!

tris

I read the entire post, loving every bit of it, before I realised that Ruby was not your daughter. What a surprise to see that dress on a sweet little doll! I wonder if that pattern could be used to make a dress/blouse for my daughters? I love it!

Melissa

Thanks so much your the best. Ruby you look adorable and we can't wait to see the next installment. Maybe a red headed sister:)

kjungs

wonderful dress, and ruby is soooo cute!

austen

holy cuteness, batman! i feel christmas presents coming on.... thanks for the great tutorial!

katie

absolutely wonderful - if it wasn't midnight I would go and make one NOW! Thank you

susan sobon

ok,is it me or what? i just want to eat her??!! she is so dang adorable!!! and i love the way you pose her!!!! tooooo cute

manda

Fantastic tutorial Lyn. I thank you, Bella thanks you and most importantlyof all, Bella's near naked doll thanks you!

Georgia

Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic tutorial that was. I made a coat version of it today (and I am NOT a sewer) all with hand stitching and it turned out really, really well. Only problem is that I was hoping it would fit my daughter's American Girl doll and the arms are too tight. So now I guess I'll just have to have a go at making a doll with skinny arms! Do you know of any free patterns where I could get a start? I also loved Ruby, but thought that at 144 messages, you'd heard it enough!

Linda

this is adorable, so is Ruby of course, thanks so much for the brilliant tutorial

Amanda

Beautiful! And thanks for the tutorial, it's a great idea to make the dress reversible to avoid itty bitty seams!

Peggy

Have you seen the Bette Davis movie All About Eve? I wonder if Ruby has. Maybe she needs her own blog?

Mary

Thank you so much for sharing this! Reversible = genius. And thanks, too, for the book recommendations in the earlier post...just got a copy of the Woman's Day book, and it's a great find!

Christine

you are a genius - great idea to make a reversible dress! Now we get 2 instead of 1 AND can avoid the bloody tiny seams! Excellent tutorial, will definitely try it! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Lesley McCormick

ilse


Ooh thank you ! I've learned so much today with this tutorial, thanksfot sharing it.

I do have one question though. Maybe a silly one but what are the measurements of the dress?

wilsonian

Oh. My. Goodness.
I almost can't stand the cuteness that is Ruby.

Fantastic tutorial!

I love this doll, and the dress. In fact I love the doll so much that I spent WEEKS trying to make my own. And now I feel bad because I posted about her (and your Ruby) on my blog, but never posted on your blog to say thank you for providing such inspiration.
