they did it!
Olive and Archie's make-a-long tale is complete! A year or so late but who's counting ;) The last sewing pattern was supposed to be pj's for Olive and Archie but since I couldn't even reproduce them myself I figured a pattern wasn't such a hot idea. Sorry! But honestly, you'd hate me if I tempted you to make button up pjs for a doll with no shoulders!
**oh man, fast and sloppy blogging today. sorry! that other thing that was up here wasn't supposed to be but was supposed to stay down there.

I would love if you put the story into a blurb book or something we could order. My daughter LOVES Olive and Archie and she would love having a book with their story so she wouldn't have to ask me to show her on the computer all the time.

I'm so excited about this! I think that I'll need to make new Olive and Archie dolls first though because ours have gotten played with so,so much that they are starting to look a little worse for wear.

Hooray! We loved it! My five year old son was so happy to see the end of the story! Thanks for doing this! My kids love their dolls and I think I need to get working on more accessories! Congratulations!

I've been wondering how it ended! The book idea is a good one. The kids would love it.

I love doll photo stories! Archie and Olive are too cute! Violet (my travel doll) very much approves!

Hillary, your Olive and Archie story is so cute. It has to become a real book. I love all the outfits and the adventures. You never cease to amaze.

Congratulations- this is such a wonderful idea. The dolls super cute and the photographs are beautiful. I'd echo mama urchin and would love to see the story in a little book or postcard set maybe? I'm going to have to get the patterns and make them for my girls. you're a very talented lady- thanks for sharing!
