After the designer talk, we dove into making fashions for old dolls from the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys. These dolls needed major makeovers!
After the dresses were made, we got into making paper purses. My paper purse career was how I first got into the world of fashion back in 1983.
