Spa Wraps for American Girl Dolls

The spa wraps for American Girl dolls are finished, waiting at the home of the birthday girl for the guests to arrive.

The big Spa-tacular birthday party is today so I quickly snapped a few pictures while the wraps were still in my possession.  Each guest is bringing her doll to the pampering party where they will dress in matching outfits.

I had planned to make a tiny ruffle for the doll wraps, but just ran out of time.  The black gingham ribbon was an acceptable substitute.

They will also make monogrammed ponytail “button ups.” The embroidered covers I stitched will pop into my Fabric Button Cover machine from Hope Yoder.   This is a fabulous tool with so many applications.  Check out what Betty has done with hers!

Our daughter, Laurel’s aunt, is here for her niece’s birthday, along with her husband and 3 year old son, Alastair.  He is so much fun!  But it is hard to get anything done.  So I’ve run out of time to do some of the things I had planned.  I love spending time with this precious little guy.

His sweet, happy disposition deteriorates when he gets the news that it is time to go home and leave Nana and Granddad.

So I’ll close this short post and promise that the next one will give more details and pictures of the party and the sewing projects.

This post was included included in Freckled Laundry’s Air Your Laundry linky party–all textile entries.  Great inspiration here.
