From Antique Christening Gown to a Dress for Meadow Dolls (Masha & Ardyn, LL 20")

In this video I share some of the steps in transforming a genuine antique christening gown into a special dress for a Meadow doll (LL size, 20" — Masha and Ardyn). Along the way I've included a few useful details and little techniques for those of you who sew — from adapting my existing patterns (combining a fitted long sleeve with a short puffed sleeve, so the lace from the original sleeves could be kept at the cuff), to working the pintucks and lace, and cutting out and finishing the piece. At the end you'll also find photos of the finished dress. I hope you enjoy watching, and that it gives a little inspiration for giving antique fabrics a beautiful new life.
