Hello Everyone!! I hope you enjoy this video about how I made an 1930's style dress inspired by the American Girl Doll Ruthie Smithens. Ruthie Smithens is the best friend to Kit Kitteridge whose story is set in the 1930's. The Ruthie doll was released in 2008 in conjunction with the release of the movie Kit Kitteridge: An American Girl Adventure. The only American Girl movie to be released to theaters.
Oh all the American Girl Dolls, I think I am most like Ruthie Smithens based off of looks, family circumstances, and personality. What American Girl Doll are you most like?
This dress is my 1st venture into 1930's fashion and I must say, while I was skeptical if I would like it at 1st, I do really love the 1930's silhouette. I think it suits me well.

Being the best friend means that they havent written ur story yet. It doesnt mean that ur not a main character.

Love it! When I’m looking for cottons at Joanns I like to go for the ones in the quilting section bc I feel like they have more options or hobby lobby also has a ton of cottons to choose from ❤

I bought the same fabric for my granddaughter’s renaissance fair costume this year. She’ll be 1 1/2 and it’ll be her first time. It’s the little maid costume from Simplicity 5517. It’s a very pretty fabric.

If you have a quilt shop fabric nearby check to see if they have reproduction fabric. I don’t quilt but I stopped by two quilt shops when I was in Hiawassee last month. I bought some beautiful reproduction fabric by Henry Glass.

Oh that sounds super neat! We have 1 quilt shop about an hour from here that has some great reproduction fabrics, some from the 1930's in feed sack patterns. I just have to wait for them to go on sale. 😊😊

This is such great work, I was noticong others have done Samantha in recent times doing Kit or Caroline or even one of the other best friends might be good, for the list 😉
