Strawberry Shortcake

Growing up, Jess and I loved the Strawberry Shortcake dolls. Remember the ones that breathed fruit when you squeezed them? Jess had the Strawberry Shortcake one and I had Lemon Merengue. We also had those cute little plastic dolls too. I remember my Rasberry Tart doll quite vividly. Jess did you have Butter Cup? I have really sketchy and selective childhood memories.

This weekend I had the honor of making this present for a baby shower.

When I ordered this Strawberry Shortcake fabric, I didn't realize it was the same exact stuff Lorie used for some of her projects. But Lorie graciously said it was ok for me to use it:) JOY!!! Thank you, thank you Lorie! I have not made anything this girlie in while.









Like my new hanger?
email me! i love you more than broccoli.

    omg that set is ADORABLE! I was lucky enough to find some vintage strawberry shortcake ribbon at a yard sale a few weeks ago! alright you must share your secret of getting your blanket squares so perfectly straight! Granted I am a new sewer (is that a word?) but oy that is sooooo hard for me! Ok enough drooling (& rambling)

    Absolutely adorable! I love both pieces so much! The zig zag is such a fun little touch, and the colors mesh so well. Your sewing gets more and more amazing.

    Ok, trying to remember here. I had Strawberry Shortcake, Apple Dumpling, Apricot Nector, and Huckleberry Pie. You had Blueberry Muffin, Raspberry Tart, Apricot Nector, and Lemon M. I later got Butter Cookie for my birthday. From Trisha Baker, I think? She was in the second or third round of dollies they put out, and then they made so many it got totally out of control and impossible to keep up with.

    Thanks gals!

    Cheeziemommie-most of my sewing friends will all agree that it's sometimes tricky to get all the squares to line up. Try to avoid stretchy fabrics. And if it is stretchy, try to keep it at the bottom, so you can trim it when it stretches. Sometimes when I have my 3 vertical strips(each with 3 squares), I can tell the squares won't line up and then it's time to seam wrip and shorten the squares that are too long. Hope this helps!

    Megan-heh, you should have seen me falling asleep behind the wheel of my sewing machine.

    Lift Up Your Hearts-I get my ric-rac from Patches and F&M. Also thanks for the tip Barbie!

    Lorieloo- Your stuff is darling and always inspiring!

    molly june- I do sell my stuff--thanks for asking! For further inquiries, please email me at daviandjessica@yahoo.com

    Oh I remember those dolls...I had a Strawberry Shortcake one. It always amazed me that she still smelled like strawberries after all the years I had her!

    That blanket is too cute! And well, I think I want one of those shirts in my size! HEHEHE!
