I’ve had this Raggedy Ann Doll since I was very very little. I’ve always wanted a dress like hers. So now my daughter has one… I only wished I could have found material a little closer to the original to make it out of.

Last night I finally used my Spoonflower fabric to make this shirt. I only had a yard and it wasn’t enough so I improvised with the orange thing at the waist. I liked the way it turned out and I wore it all day today. Tonight my husband noticed that the zipper under my arm was broken. It was attached at the top and had split open all the way underneath (see picture). I was not aware of this when I was wearing it around all day for my daughter’s appointments at Children’s Hospital, meeting with countless practicioners. I wonder if I’ve been exposing myself all day. Oh well… what I’m really mad about is that the zipper broke the first time I wore the shirt and now I have to do another one and I hate sewing zippers!
