candyo said... How cute! How sweet of you to make those! 1/24/05 5:01 PM

PhyllisC said... Oh - I actually think the fabric is fab - it's just what girls that age really love. Lucky girl and lucky doll! 1/24/05 6:05 PM
noreend said... Very nice! I thought you crocheted it! Watch out, making those doll clothes can be addictive. Your neice will love it. 1/24/05 6:18 PM
JDpenelope said... Love the fabric, but glad *I* didn't have to sew it up. Your labor of love is a huge success. I like the neckline and the square shape a lot! I might have to copy this. 1/24/05 6:31 PM
bheath said... Just beautiful! Maddie will be one lucky birthday girl! The poncho came out great. 1/24/05 6:37 PM
MaryLynn in Long Beach said... Ah, Miz Leslie...you done started the troubles now....
I get regular 'orders' from the DGDs for outfits with matching clothes for the AG dolls.
Your out fit is really cute, good work! 1/24/05 7:33 PM
PVA said... I just did a sewing lesson with a friend's dd -- we did view B. I had suggested she get some fleece so we didn't have to deal with raw edges. While I was setting up her machine she was playing with one of the scraps so I suggested she might like to make a hair band. Boy, was she a happy camper when she left with her poncho & hair band! You are right on the money -- perfect pattern for a young girl to start learning to sew. (She's 11) 1/24/05 8:01 PM
Jennifer shaw said... Awww! Very cute! Your little niece is really going to love this. Especially for her doll! 1/24/05 8:05 PM
aneri_masi said... The fabric is CUTE, not dreadful! I must agree, you are the best auntie ever. Do post pics of Maddie and dollie wearing these if you can. 1/24/05 9:43 PM
tigger said... I absolutely adore the fabric! And the tassles do look great - worth the pain - well maybe :) 1/25/05 0:00 AM
minieme said... Kudos for tackling this fabric, I salute you! They look real chic. I'm sure both niece and doll will wear these a lot. 1/25/05 0:29 AM

JoleneF said... What lucky girls! I agree about the fabric though, not what I would choose but these kids have different ideas, wasn't it that way in our day too! 1/25/05 7:31 AM
Debbie Cook said... Wow, Leslie. For such a "simple" project, you took it all the way and beyond. Great job, and such groovy (yes, I said groovy) fabric. Your niece will be beaming in her trendy poncho and one to match for dolly. 1/25/05 7:55 AM
Nancy Anne said... I think your fabric is awesome, but I didn't know you could purchase stuff liked that! I thought you knitted when I saw it. They are beautiful. I wonder what other fabrics you would make a poncho with? 1/25/05 1:42 PM
DBee said... I am teaching sewing to kids and one of them really wants to make an open-weave type poncho. Thank you so much for the info! The kids are not using my serger, so I think I will try out putting bias tape on the edges before trying to sew the seams. 2/1/05 2:00 PM
keric said... Wow, Leslie! Now projects like this make me REALLY want to learn how to sew. :) My daughter saw the picture and asked where we could buy that! Awesome job! 2/4/05 12:08 PM
