I just strip pieced 2 fabrics then cut the sewin strips and sewed it again...made a nice piece of fabric for the skirt...
My dolls were only about 18" long.
what a good idea. If I can get hold of some pale pink or even pastel, I will try to do that. thanks. The dolls you mention sure sounded cute. I also have some strips of donated quilt material I plan to join together for a skirt.
Thanks again. Vickey Stamps
