Baby, you look so good and a giveway!

My circa 1970 baby doll, wearing new duds.

My mother wanted to give away a life-sized baby doll to a little girl

who recently moved to Canada from Bolivia and had to leave her dolly behind.

The doll she had (not mine pictured here) came unclothed from a yard sale,

and my mother used it to model a lacy crocheted dress not appropriate for play.

So I got out the bright flannels, some already pre-cut into squares

and made a layette.

Here's my doll modelling the patchwork blanket,

two bright diapers (with red velcro) at the right

and a fun polka dot nightgown.

That same fabric is on the back of the blankee.

This was a little fun Labour Day sewing

which I hope will brighted a little girl's day.
