Today I'm sharing some inspiration of some really nicely organized craft spaces.

From www.georgiapeachez.typepad.com

I found this one at www.sewmanyways.blogspot.com

This is a great scrapbooking space. www.home-designing.com

I love the pink and green. www.madebylova.wordpress.com

Hope this gives you a little inspiration.

Enjoy your day!!

Tuesday Tutorial ---- Doll Clothes

Today I thought I would share some tutorials for doll clothes.   Little girls love to play dress up with their dolls but clothes for dolls can be expensive.   Your daughter or grandaughter  would love to find some of these outfits under the tree.

Make this outfit for an American Girl doll with this tutorial from Strictly Homemade.

There are a lot of free doll clothes patterns on this site.   Infinite Freedom

And let's not forget Barbie.  There are several outfit tutorials on Craftiness Is Not Optional.

Your little girl will love finding one or more of these outfits under the tree.   Happy sewing!
