On Flickr a few days ago, someone posted pictures of some Christmas ornaments from Michael's that would make the perfect doll sweaters. I went out this weekend and bought a few. It took me awhile to find them because they weren't with the rest of the ornaments. They retail for $5.99, but they were on sale for 50% off.
I bought this set specifically for Rod and Danielle.
I think I will use this set for one of the teenage daughters and the mom. Possibly Christina and Cassandra.
Rod threw on his Santa hat at the last minute and I snapped the shot,
By the way, I added initial pillows to my Etsy store. You pick the initial and chose between the colors black or red.
Nice! I didn't see these when I was at Michael's I'll have to check them out! I love Rod and Danielle in matching sweaters. So cute! I been having trouble with the net so I mostly look at post at the library! I was glad to see you new post!
ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Leo! So glad to see you again. I had to look high and low to find them at my Michael's. They were on at the end of an aisle in a separate box display without any other ornaments around. I saw them just as I was about to give up and leave the store.
DeleteCute sweaters!
ReplyDeleteIsabelle - Aren't they adorable? I saw pictures of some different ones with dogs and Christmas trees, but I didn't see any of those at my Michael's.
DeleteThese are so cute! Thanks for sharing this information!
ReplyDeleteRoxanne - You are welcome. Hope you are able to find some.
DeleteThese "ugly Christmas sweaters" are nice. Did you leave some for anyone else, Vanessa?
ReplyDelete:-)

DBG - I saw pictures of some truly "ugly" ones, that were adorable, but my Michael's didn't have them. They had snowmen, dogs, and reindeer etc. Take a look here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lauren-4/15550207230/
DeleteMy Michael's had plenty. Probably because no one could find them in their hidden location. I know it looks like I bought them all. Felt like that, too.
Vanessa,
DeleteWhat is the measurement of the sweaters from neck to hemline and from arm to arm?

The ones at the link you shared are really cute!

DBG - Sweaters vary in measurement, but most of them are 3.75 in from neck to hem, and they range from 8in to 10in arm to arm.
DeleteThank you. I saw some onlone that measured 4-1/2 inches from neck to hem and 5 inches from arm to arm.

Those christmas sweaters are absolutely adorable <3 ! They fit so nice for the dolls!
ReplyDeleteKaroliina - They fit much better than I thought they would. I may shrink a few so the kids can have sweaters, too.
DeleteI need to check these out. Michaels....here I come!
ReplyDeleteKMQ - Hope you're able to get some. If you don't see them, ask. They may be hidden like these were.
DeleteVery festive sweaters! I love finding non-doll items that work that way.
ReplyDeletejSarie - My dollies are now ready for Christmas.
DeleteThe sweaters are Cosby cool!
ReplyDeleteMuff - Yes, they are! Cliff would have loved these.
Deletecute sweaters, i bought one two weeks ago, i wasn't sure if it would fit the barbie. it does perfectly so i went back and bought more. i'm glad i follow your blog and the rest of your fellow bloggers, you all gave me the inspiration to keep my barbies. so thank you all!
ReplyDeleteshirley - I'm glad you were able to get some sweaters, I just couldn't beat $3, so I went a little overboard. So happy you have found a hobby to keep you smiling and inspired.
DeleteSon unos sweaters preciosos y tan navideños.
ReplyDeleteBesos.
PILAR - Sí, mis plataformas ya están listos para la Navidad.
DeleteHello from Spain: I really like the sweaters dedicated to Christmas. Very original and beautiful. Great purchase. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta - Thanks. I'm sure we will be seeing some great holiday fashions on your dollies, soon.
DeleteHi, Vanessa! I love these cute little sweaters, great find! Why aren't they sold in my country, too? :) The pillows are also beautiful! Many hugs!
ReplyDeleteRosemary Hill - Thanks. Are you sure they aren't sold in your country? Have you checked? Many more hugs.
DeleteNice Christmas Sweaters. I am going to have to make a stop at Michaels.
ReplyDeleteMale Doll World - Hope you find some. You may have to search for them.
DeleteOkay, once again, you are enabling me. :-) I planned to stay in this Veteran's Day (day off) and not do the shopping that I so desperately wanted to do. Now, I HAVE to make a trip to Michael's and pick up a few of these. Thanks Vanessa! Lol!
ReplyDeleteGeorgia Girl - At least I posted them quickly so maybe you can get them at the Veteran's Day 50% off price tag. Beats paying $6. Good luck!
DeleteCute sweaters! Timely, too ;-)
ReplyDeleteD7ana - Definitely right on time.
DeleteHi Vanessa, what a trove! they are perfect!!! all the girls and boys here are so envious, they are driving me mad!
ReplyDeletebilla's dolls - Maybe you will find them sweaters soon. If not, tell your boys and girls with the beautiful one of a kind pieces they get from you they have nothing to be envious about.
DeleteSuch a cool Idea! They are nice.
ReplyDeleteJanainah - Everyone needs Christmas sweaters. Even our dolls.
DeleteYou are bringing an atmosphere of Christmas with your post! I'm not celebrating it, but I simply love all of decorations,Christmas Tree,lights, gifts and music.
ReplyDeleteThose little sweaters are so cute! have seen similar but I though it will be too small for Barbie so didn't buy, my bad. Rod and Danielle look great in matching clothes!
jewel snake - Hard to believe Christmas is here again. Glad these little sweaters could put you in a festive mood.
DeleteI was out of town when I read this post and ran to the nearest Michael's I could find. You are so right about finding them. I walked passed them three times before I finally saw them. The sales people must have thought I was a crazy lady just wandering through the store over and over again. I bought three as I still call myself making my own clothes.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great tip. I keep seeing these lovely Christmas scenes, making me want to do one. So these can go into a scene. Thank you!
Janainah Frye - I'm so glad you stayed the course to find those sweaters. I don't know why they have them in such odd places. They would probably be close to sold out if they had them in a better place. Hope you are able to do a little Christmas scene.
DeleteVery cute indeed. I will need to be on the look out for those. Really great gift ideals too.
ReplyDeleteBrinit - I'm going back to another Michael's to see if I can find a few different ones. I like the ones with the reindeer and the snowman, etc. Good luck finding some.
DeleteThose sweaters are really cute. I think I'll go to Michael's and see if I can find some. Thanks for the tip! :-)
ReplyDeleteCindi - I hope you were able to find some sweaters. I may pick up a few more later.
DeleteAmazing what you do with Christmas ornaments. Those are SO cute!
ReplyDeleteKenya - Yes we doll people can see doll accessories in just about anything. lol.
